Director / Senior Director Clinical Imaging Research Scientist

Role Summary

The Senior Director - Clinical Imaging Research Scientist leads the advanced image analysis group, providing strategic and technical input for imaging biomarkers and analysis techniques across clinical development in Oncology, Diabetes, Immunology, and Neurodegeneration. The role involves developing, validating, and implementing imaging methodologies to extract quantitative information for personalized dosimetry and treatment planning, and coordinating with cross-functional teams to integrate novel imaging approaches.

Responsibilities

• Provide strategic and technical input on the development, implementation and evaluation of imaging biomarkers and image analysis techniques across therapeutic areas.
• Analyze molecular imaging data to locate tumors, assess tracer biodistribution for personalized dosimetry and treatment planning, and evaluate treatment efficacy through follow-up imaging.
• Design and implement customized imaging programs in clinical trials and image analysis methods, leveraging novel and standard methodologies.
• Lead cross-functional projects with internal research and clinical teams (medical, operations, statistics, regulatory).
• Develop and maintain external partnerships to support validation of clinical imaging instrumentation and its application in therapeutic development.
• Evaluate key scientific developments in clinical image analysis and implement emerging technologies including modeling and artificial intelligence.
• Develop, validate, and implement image analysis methodologies and software tools for quantitative clinical image analyses across modalities such as PET, SPECT, CT, and MRI.
• Author and review clinical trial documents (protocols, study reports, technical manuals).
• Communicate, present, and publish conference abstracts and manuscripts.

Qualifications

• PhD or MD with a specialization in Medical Imaging, Biomedical Engineering, Computational Biology or related image analysis discipline with minimum of 5 years of professional experience in clinical imaging applications.

Additional Skills

• Direct contribution to medical image analysis in targeted radionuclide therapy studies (peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, or developed software).
• Knowledge of factors affecting quantitative accuracy in oncologic clinical imaging, especially targeted radionuclide therapies.
• Strong understanding of SPECT, PET, CT, and MR image acquisition, processing, quantitative analyses, and interpretation for therapeutic applications.
• Experience in clinical trials and imaging biomarkers implementation.
• Programming and development of image analysis software codes; proven leadership, organizational, and communication skills.
