About us
We are looking for an enthusiastic medical physicist to join our PET imaging team at King’s College London (KCL) & Guy’s and St Thomas’ (GSTT) PET Centre. The PET Centre is part of both King's College London's School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences in the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, and Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.

We run a clinical PET service in parallel with an extensive programme of clinical research. Facilities currently include 2 cyclotrons, radiochemistry labs, 3 PET-CT scanners and a PET-MR scanner.

About the role
The purpose of this post is to provide scientific, regulatory and technical expertise to support the operation and development of clinical and research PET scanning activities in the PET Centre, working as a member of a team of medical physicists.

The department has just been awarded a £13 million grant from the Medical Research Council for a Total Body PET scanner as part of a new national PET research initiative. This will be an exciting time to join our team with ample opportunity to contribute to an ambitious programme developing the clinical and research capabilities of the department.

Key roles will include participation in the medical physics scanning rota, development of clinical and research procedures, data processing and handling of PET-CT and PET-MR data, writing/documenting software tools and utilities, and providing radiation protection support to the department. There will also be opportunities to contribute to the extensive teaching program provided by the school.

The successful candidate will ideally be a state registered clinical scientist, although we will consider candidates nearing the end of training. Salary offered will be subject to negotiation based on experience/qualifications. Ideally you will have some experience of working as a clinical scientist in a Nuclear Medicine department.

You should be highly motivated, able to multi-task, work well within a team, and be keen to learn. The postholder will be expected to work on-site for the majority of the week. The position is in a friendly and supportive multi-disciplinary department, with opportunities for involvement in research projects.

This is a full-time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered an indefinite contract.
