TB PET Research Operations and Development Manager (Fixed Term)
About The Role
We are seeking an exceptional professional to spearhead the University's operational delivery, project management, and governance of the pioneering Total Body Positron Emission Tomography (TB-PET) scanner facility.
Situated at the heart of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus within Addenbrooke’s Hospital, this position presents a rare opportunity to manage a cornerstone component of the ANGLIA TB-PET network, funded via the MRC National PET Imaging Platform (NPIP), a major UKRI investment into next-generation molecular imaging.
The role provides a crucial cross-institutional interface, bridging the University of Cambridge (UoC), with that of the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH). The successful candidate will navigate the complexities of both the university research ecosystem and the clinical NHS environment, ensuring a seamless translation of cutting-edge technology into patient and research benefits.
Scheduled for installation in November 2026, the TB-PET scanner represents the pinnacle of medical imaging technology, offering:
- Ultra-high sensitivity
- Full-body kinetic modelling capabilities
- Modalities far surpassing conventional scanners
