Job overview

This 12‑month fixed‑term (maternity cover) role is for a Principal Clinical Scientist in a joint clinical‑academic department within a large London teaching hospital. While covering the full scope of nuclear medicine physics, the primary focus is leading the physics aspects of the Molecular Radiotherapy (MRT) service. The role is relatively new and has been driven by the transfer of the in‑patient MRT service from radiotherapy physics to nuclear medicine physics. This service includes inpatient thyroid cancer treatments and a national referral centre for somatostatin therapies (I‑131 mIBG and Lu‑177 Dotatate). There is also a significant paediatric MRT workload. In addition, the department runs a busy out‑patient MRT service, including NHS‑funded benign thyroid and radium‑223 treatments, a large private Lu‑177 PSMA service, and a growing research programme using Lu-177, Ac-225 and other radionuclide labelled ligands.
