Position Summary
This role will support the application of nuclear medical physics in the research and development of imaging and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals (RPT) in Oncology. The individual will work in a multidisciplinary environment and contribute from discovery through late-phase clinical research, with a strong emphasis on enabling preclinical and translational imaging and dosimetry capabilities that support clinical development.

The Advisor – Medical Physicist will provide hands-on technical expertise in SPECT image reconstruction (required), dosimetry analysis, scanner calibration, tool development, validation, QC workflows, and site qualification. This role will support the development of internal RLT analysis capabilities spanning discovery through clinical applications, enabling robust, scalable, and regulatory-aligned imaging and dosimetry workflows.
Responsibilities

• Lead development and validation of in-house RLT analysis tools, including image reconstruction, activity modeling, dosimetry calculation, and calibration methods in partnership with both the Discovery and Clinical teams
• Provide quantitative imaging and dosimetry to screen and rank candidate radioligands, informing candidate selection in partnership with the Discovery team
• Develop and implement imaging and dosimetry methodologies for preclinical RPT studies, including quantitative imaging and dose estimation in animal models, and translational dosimetry to estimate human dosimetry
• Own validation strategy and execution for internally developed tools, ensuring reproducibility and alignment with clinical and regulatory expectations
• Lead scanner qualification and performance characterization for preclinical and clinical PET and SPECT imaging systems in partnership with both the Discovery and Clinical teams
• Develop QC workflows and ensure consistent application across imaging reconstruction, dosimetry, and calibration outputs
• Perform internal dosimetry analyses across preclinical and clinical datasets and provide QC review of analysis outputs
• Identify and resolve technical bottlenecks in reconstruction, imaging, dosimetry, and QC workflows
• Support translation of preclinical imaging and dosimetry methods into early-phase clinical workflows
• Support development of SOPs, imaging manuals, dosimetry documentation, and regulatory deliverables
• Contribute to preparation of datasets, tables, figures, and analysis outputs supporting regulatory submissions
• Interface with IT and software engineering teams to implement, deploy, and maintain validated analysis platforms
• Support site qualification, troubleshooting, and routine data processing across studies
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, external vendors, CROs, and imaging partners
• Ensure adherence to GCP, SOPs, and quality standards

Basic Requirements

• Advanced degree (PhD) in Medical Physics, Nuclear Physics, Biomedical Engineering or related field

Preferred Requirements

• Required: Expertise in SPECT image reconstruction and quantitative SPECT imaging
• Preferred: Experience with PET reconstruction and quantitative PET imaging
• Experience in radiopharmaceutical/internal dosimetry (organ level and/or voxel-based methods)
• Experience developing or validating scientific software or quantitative imaging workflows
• Strong understanding of nuclear imaging modalities (SPECT, PET, CT, MR)
• Ability to perform technical QC and communicate results to multidisciplinary teams
