Junior / Imaging Scientist Location: Oxfordshire (On-site) Type: Full-time, Permanent Help shape the future of 3D medical imaging We are working with an innovative deep-tech company developing next-generation 3D X-ray imaging technology designed to make advanced diagnostic imaging more accessible, affordable and deployable at the point of care. Following years of successful R&D, the organisation is now entering an exciting phase as its technology moves from research into real-world clinical deployment and manufacturing scale-up. As part of this growth, they are looking for a Junior Imaging Scientist (or Imaging Scientist) to join their multidisciplinary R&D team in Oxfordshire. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career — whether a recent graduate or PhD holder in physics, engineering, imaging science, or a related field — to contribute to the development of cutting-edge imaging systems that have real clinical impact. The Role You will work alongside experienced scientists and engineers to analyse, develop and optimise 3D X-ray imaging techniques, contributing to the continued evolution of a novel imaging platform. Your work will support the development of imaging applications across a range of domains including: Orthopaedics Dental imaging Veterinary diagnostics Industrial / non-destructive testing The role offers the chance to work across the full R&D cycle — from experimental design and image analysis to prototype development and collaboration with clinical and commercial teams. You’ll be joining a highly collaborative team environment where curiosity, scientific rigour and hands-on experimentation are valued. Key Responsibilities Design, plan and execute imaging experiments to evaluate and demonstrate system performance Analyse experimental data to assess image quality and guide product development decisions Support the development and refinement of 3D X-ray and tomosynthesis imaging techniques Develop prototype tools and scripts for image processing, analysis and visualisation Work closely with senior imaging scientists and engineers during system development and testing Contribute to research activities including literature review and exploration of new imaging approaches Support demonstrations and evaluations with internal teams and external collaborators Contribute to the generation of new ideas and intellectual property Candidate Profile This role would suit someone who enjoys working at the intersection of science, engineering and real-world application. You should be comfortable working in a hands-on experimental environment and motivated by solving complex imaging problems. Candidates may come from academic research or early industry experience. Essential Skills & Experience Degree (BSc/MSc/PhD) in Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Imaging Science, or a related discipline Programming experience in Python or C++ Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Experience analysing scientific or experimental data Ability to design and execute experiments independently Strong communication skills and the ability to work within multidisciplinary teams Desirable Experience Image processing or computer vision Machine learning applied to imaging or scientific data Knowledge of X-ray imaging, CT, tomosynthesis or medical imaging physics Image reconstruction techniques Experience working with scientific computing tools or imaging libraries Why This Role is Interesting Work on cutting-edge imaging technology moving from research to real clinical use Join a growing deep-tech company at a pivotal stage of commercialisation Collaborate with experts across physics, engineering, software and clinical domains Gain exposure to the full lifecycle of imaging system development
