Overview
Join to apply for the Senior Physicist in Nuclear Medicine role at NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group.
The opportunity has arisen within the Nuclear Medicine department for a physicist to join our team of five physicists to provide scientific support to PET-CT and SPECT-CT services. The department is situated within a new state-of-the-art hospital and supports 2 SPECT-CT systems, a CZT solid-state SPECT-CT system, Starguide and a 5-ring digital GE MI TOF PET-CT. The group also manages four outside hospitals providing a full range of physics support. Members of the group play an active role in the STP training scheme. The PET-CT unit undertakes research including the effect of respiratory gating on tumour detection and imaging in low-count situations (e.g., Y90 SIRT). A software environment will be available for system development and research. The department is a leading proponent of targeted radionuclide therapy including Y90 SIRT, Lu-177 dotatate, Lu-177 PSMA, alpha-particle therapies and I-131 therapies, in conjunction with a strong research program in personalised dosimetry.
You should have completed or be about to complete the STP training programme and have achieved state registration. If the successful candidate is still in training the post may be appointed at a lower grade.
Liverpool is one of Europe’s liveliest and most exciting cities, renowned for its culture and character, with historic world links.
