Senior Clinical Scientist MPE – RADIOISOTOPES - BAND 8A
This opportunity has arisen, for an enthusiastic, motivated, clinical scientist to join our Radioisotope Physics team. We provide support to radioisotope services in various departments, including oncology, nuclear medicine and PET/CT, nuclear cardiology, laboratories etc.
Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd
Candidates for this post must be registered Clinical Scientists or working towards registration and ideally be registered as MPE but candidates with less experience would also be considered and offered support with their portfolios to gain registration/certification. They will provide clinical, scientific and technical expert advice and specialist training in support of the above services and undertake the IRMER duty holder role of a Medical Physics Expert (MPE). They will be strongly encouraged to participate in R&D projects and be involved in the radiation protection support. Experience of working in a clinical setting is essential but candidates with less experience will be considered for employment at a lower band.
Gweithio i'n sefydliad
We support 5 SPECT gamma cameras (4 with CT), 2 PET / CT scanners and a new digital dedicated cardiac scanner. 3 gamma cameras and 1 PET/CT scanner are due for replacement with the latest technology in the next 12 months. The clinical services we support provide a wide range of radionuclide therapies and diagnostic imaging and non-imaging tests. In addition, the group is very involved in the provision of radiation protection support to all departments using radioisotopes. The section also provides support to a large number of clinical trials, including novel PET and SPECT tracers and new therapeutic techniques. Our groups has strong collaborative relationships with several industry partners. and this is an excellent opportunity to join a large collaborative team with strong research links and potential lecturing opportunities in the MSc in Medical Physics with Radiobiology course at the University of Oxford.
