Lead the future of quantitative MRI

We are looking for an exceptional Head of Physics to lead our MRI Physics team and drive the development of innovative quantitative MRI methodologies, imaging biomarkers, and software technologies that are transforming patient care.

This is a rare opportunity for an accomplished MRI physicist to combine scientific leadership, technical excellence, and strategic influence in a role that sits at the heart of cutting-edge healthcare innovation.

What You'll Be Doing

As Head of Physics, you will:

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of MRI physicists and engineers.
  • Define and deliver the Physics roadmap, aligning scientific innovation with business objectives.
  • Drive the development of quantitative MRI technologies, methodologies, and products.
  • Own the delivery of Physics programmes and projects, ensuring quality, prioritisation, and execution.
  • Act as the organisation's subject matter expert in MRI physics, partnering with Product, Engineering, Regulatory, Quality, Commercial, and Scientific teams.
  • Build and maintain collaborations with academic, clinical, and industry partners.
  • Support strategic decision-making through technical and scientific leadership.
  • Represent the organisation at conferences, scientific collaborations, customer engagements, and industry events.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
