Clinical Scientist in the Institute of Nuclear Medicine
This is a new post created due to significant expansion of trial participation. In the first instance, this is a fixed-term (24 months) position to assess the viability of posts funded by research trials.
About the Role
As a Clinical Scientist in the Institute of Nuclear Medicine, you will contribute to the work of an established team of ten clinical scientists who provide critical scientific and technical support to the work of this leading department. The team currently includes four other Band 7 NM clinical scientists and three Band 8a leads, as well as 3 physics assistants. You will work very closely with these colleagues, who, alongside the Head of NM Physics, Deputy Head of NM Physics, and Principal Physicist in molecular radiotherapy, will be able to support you to quickly become established in this role.
You will be expected to participate in the very wide range of clinical and research and development activities of the department. Full training will be provided on both the equipment support rota and the radionuclide therapy support rota, and time off rota will be available for service development projects.
This post offers an excellent opportunity to extend your experience as a clinical scientist in nuclear medicine at a highly regarded center that develops and practices cutting-edge techniques in both molecular radiotherapy and diagnostic imaging. We proactively encourage our clinical scientists to work towards MPE portfolio submission, with dedicated time and peer support sessions.
