ACR Career Center Policies
The American College of Radiology (ACR) Career Center job listings are for use by those professionals seeking a position as, or filling a position for, a physician or medical physicist in the practice of diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine or radiation oncology. It is ACR’s intention that the site be a user-friendly meeting place for individual employers and job seekers.
Terms & Conditions
General
• The American College of Radiology (ACR) Career Center will register applicants and list positions without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or veteran status. Unless otherwise required by law, discriminatory preferences, limitations or specifications with regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or veteran status are prohibited in Career Center listings.
• Only listings for physicians or medical physicists in the practice of diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine or radiation oncology are acceptable. Listings can be for permanent or locum tenens positions or fellowships available (employers) or sought (job seekers).
• Listings must be for a specific opening or person. The ACR does not consider listings for the services of job placement companies or other job placement services, such as online job boards to be appropriate and does not allow them on this site.
• For the purposes of this Web site, "employer" is defined as the person, institution, organization or company for which the candidate will be working. Recruiters, search firms, classified listing services or other such placement service businesses (whether or not acting as agents for any of the preceding) are not considered employers and are therefore not eligible to use this service. Accounts found to be advertising positions through a placement service will be suspended or deleted. Job seekers may report listings of placement agencies to CareerCenter@acr.org.
• The employer or employer's representative shall present on the ACR Career Center only specific, genuine, existing employment or fellowship opportunities with or for a specific, genuine, existing employer.
• All listings with the ACR Career Center and the information contained therein should be treated as confidential by all participants. All data associated with the listings is intended for the specific purpose of finding or filling a specific position and should not be used for any other purpose. The data should not be shared with an outside party or parties utilizing the data for any other purpose. Using the information/data for any other purpose will be considered a violation of the terms of this site and could result in the immediate termination of access to the site. Termination may occur without advance notice. An example of misuse of data would include, but is not limited to, using the e-mail address obtained from a listing or listings to send unsolicited e-mail(s) that are not related to a specific listed opening or applicant.
• Data for a new listing must be entered online by the user and cannot be taken via the telephone, mail or fax.
• The submission of a listing is considered an agreement to abide by all policies as noted here.
• The ACR Career Center reserves the right to delete any listing not compatible with the ACR's intended use of this site, or that violates any of the terms and conditions stated. Refund of any fees paid will be at the ACR's discretion.
• The ACR Career Center reserves the right to edit wording if it is in conflict with ACR Career Center policies, and to terminate the services of any ACR Career Center user who misrepresents himself/herself. Examples of misrepresentation include, but are not limited to, listing under a false name or company name; a placement agency acting as a principle employer; providing false, incorrect, or misleading information; and/or claiming an affiliation with a person or company when no such affiliation exists.
ACR Liability Disclaimers
• The information provided on the ACR Web site is taken directly from registrants. The ACR Career Center cannot ensure complete accuracy of all information submitted. A listing with the ACR Career Center does not constitute a recommendation by the American College of Radiology. All financial arrangements are negotiated between the employer and the employee.
• The Employer shall be responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, completeness and removal of any employment requirements that are placed on the ACR Career Center system. The ACR disclaims any liability whatsoever for the accuracy and content of the information that the employer provides to the ACR Career Center.
• The ACR Career Center assumes no responsibility or liability for any personnel decisions and selections made by the employer. The employer represents that any selection, retention or hire of any individual or entity is based solely on the employer's investigation, verification and determination that such hire is suitable for the employer's purposes.
Applicants
• There is no charge to any user posting a resume with the ACR Career Center or searching the job postings. Applicants must be registered to apply for positions online.
• For the purposes of this Web site, only those individuals actively seeking fellowships or employment as physicians in radiology, medical physicists, or as radiation oncologists are considered "job seekers" and are eligible to use this site. Job seeker accounts found to not be eligible to fill any of these positions will be deleted.
• The ACR recommends that applicants do not list themselves any more than 12 months prior to the date they are available to start work. Candidates for fellowship openings may list themselves up to 18 months prior to the date they wish to start in a fellowship.
• Applicants have the option of keeping their resumes confidential. Personal information, such as name and address, does not appear in the listing and is not accessible to other users. Applicants also may register to use the online application function without posting their information on the searchable database.
Employers
• All employers must register and pay the job posting fee before a job can be posted or the resumes searched. If an employer chooses the invoice option, the invoice must be paid within 30 days of receipt. Accounts more than 90 days overdue will forfeit their option of being invoiced.
• Member fees will apply to a group or facility if an individual in that group or facility is a member of the ACR. The member must be registered as the user of the account and identified by his/her membership ID number. Another individual in that group or facility, performing on behalf of the member, can list their contact information upon posting an ad. To learn how to have an alternative contact listed on the job posting, please visit the user guide.
• Employers will receive an e-mail reminder to repost (renew) their job posting prior to the listing close date. All applicable fees must be paid upon reposting of a listing. No action on the part of the employer results in deactivation of the listing at the designated time.
