Senior Biomedical Imaging Scientist
Are you an experienced biomedical research scientist with a track record of solving complex problems using modern imaging techniques? Do you have a deep understanding of human anatomy and physiology? Do you want to work at the intersection of deep learning, magnetic resonance physics, and human anatomy.
About the role
As a Senior Biomedical Imaging Scientist based in the Data Science team you will lead work on developing methods to accelerate and scale new and existing analysis workflows, research new image analysis methods, validate prototypes, and support their translation into commercial clinical trials. You will assess, critique, and implement image analysis techniques from the literature so that quantitative measurements can be made in a systematic, repeatable, and reproducible manner. Your work will especially support Perspectum’s Pharma Solutions business and will involve interacting with many other teams, including Image Analysis, Quality Assurance, Data Management, Engineering, and Business Development.
Your Duties will include:
* Taking ownership of the development of new analysis workflows

* Creation of analysis guidance and documentation
* Deployment and monitoring of new workloads and pharma projects
* Monitor performance of analysis workflows
* Keep up to date with advances in the overlapping biomedical fields, through the literature, team discussion meetings, and conference attendance
* Presentation at academic and industry conferences
* Collaborate with internal research teams and on external research collaborations
* Leading delivery training packages to image analysts
* Providing support to image analysts with anatomical queries
About You
You will have a PhD (or equivalent commercial experience) relating to the use of advanced methods in the biomedical sciences, and professional research experience (for example as a postdoctoral researcher or equivalent).
You will possess strong organisation, written, and verbal communication skills as well as ability to thrive in a team as well as individual environment.
Your knowledge and experience will include:
* Comprehensive grounding in human physiology
* Experience of clinical trials involving human participants
* Evidence of research excellence in areas relating to human anatomy, physiology, or imaging
* Experience in working with data from at least one modern non-invasive imaging technique
Desirable experience includes:
* Contract Research Organisation (CRO) experience
* Experience of medical image analysis
* Medical device development
* DICOM, NIfTI, AWS, Python, PyTorch
* Experience of using statistical software (e.g. R)
* Modern computer vision methods, e.g. U-Nets, transformer models
* Magnetic resonance physics, pulse sequence development, and optimisation
* Human anatomy studies
* DXA
* Working with UK Biobank data
* Clinical trials
* Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
