Summary
What you'll do: As a vital member of our team, you will support, develop, and sometimes lead our computing projects and services, with a particular focus on developing, maintaining and supporting our Imaging Research data management software, to support research utilising Nuclear Medicine, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, CT and planar X-ray clinical imaging data. You will also help us to continuously develop and improve our expanding suite of in-house medical diagnostics software, working under the relevant standards and documenting development within our ISO13485-certified QMS. In addition, you will have the opportunity to contribute to advancing our research in Clinical Scientific Computing. You will join our development team, who use a variety of languages including Python, IDL, MATLAB, and Swift, and work with multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Examples, of our recent clinical software outputs include an automated dementia-imaging reporting tool for HMPAO SPECT data, an iOS application for calculating paediatric drug doses and a statistical reporting tool for neonatal & infant MR spectroscopy data. See our website for more details: https://www.uhs.nhs.uk/health-professionals/medical-physics/scientific-computing As part of our team, you will primarily continue to develop and improve our research imaging data management processes, with a strong focus on automation. The service is currently supported by in-house Python software for image retrieval, pre-processing and verification, and deployments of XNAT and PostgreSQL on Linux VMs onsite and on Azure, to provide researchers with managed access to curated medical imaging data. In addition to focussing on development, you'll be comfortable communicating and building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, for example, our local imaging research groups, including the Research Imaging Management Group (RIMG) and Southampton Imaging and Radiology Research Group (SIRRG), as well as external academic collaborators. Our data curation helps researchers understand their imaging data, ensuring research teams have access to high-quality data and that, where appropriate, data is in a form that can be safely shared with other teams and systems, such as Trusted Research Environments (TREs) and Secure Data Environments (SEDs). You'll contribute to enhancing our strong working relationships with other groups including UHS Digital, computing groups at the University of Southampton, R&D hubs, such as the Southampton Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), and researchers within active specialities such as neurology, oncology and radiology. What we're looking for: You will be a technical professional who is driven to apply and develop your skills and knowledge across research and clinical applications of Scientific Computing, with a particular focus on the safe and efficient handling, pseudonymisation, curation and analysis of medical imaging data. You will be committed to delivering safety and quality, supporting the development of both clinical services and our growing team, and ultimately improving outcomes for our patients. On occasion, you may be expected to travel between locations to attend, and present at professional development events, conferences or meetings in support of collaborations. Candidates with experience over and above that asked for are invited to apply, whilst those who are unsure if they fully meet the requirements are also strongly encouraged to get in touch to discuss how they might fit into our developing and growing team. Appointment at a lower band for less experienced candidates may be feasible potential applicants in this situation are encouraged to get in touch to discuss the post prior to submitting an application.
