The Institute of Nuclear Medicine has an international reputation for excellence in academic and clinical nuclear medicine. We are located in the heart of the UCL/UCL Hospitals campus, providing a comprehensive nuclear medicine service that now undertakes over 20,000 studies per year to patients referred from within UCLH, and from hospitals throughout the UK. With our large portfolio of equipment which includes PET/MR, three PET/CT systems, and four SPECT/CT systems, together with DXA bone densitometry we perform a wide range of imaging investigations. This is complemented by our routine and innovative inpatient and outpatient radionuclide therapy procedures that we perform. Both services are supported by a large central radiopharmacy with laboratory facilities on-site. In addition to the extremely varied clinical workload, we have an extensive and internationally recognised internal research programme. We collaborate with both local and external researchers and are actively involved in the Trusts NIHR BRC-funded programme for translational research and with its clinical trials portfolio. Our key strengths include the exploitation of PET and SPECT-based multimodality imaging and access to a range of experimental PET and SPECT tracers where we are developing cutting-edge techniques for oncological, neurological, and cardiac imaging, and are centrally involved in a very rapidly expanding and developing radionuclide therapy programme. This job is one of two principal clinical scientists with this role focussed on MRT, and the other focussed on non-MRT medical physics. Reporting will be to a consultant clinical scientist. As a senior member of our nuclear medicine physics team of 8 medical physicists and three physics assistants you will also have a key role to play in the management and support of the team and will also be expected to help provide Medical Physics Expert support. With academic and honorary academic appointments within the department, there will also be opportunities for research and teaching.
