Senior Scientific Officer Translational Molecular Imaging

The Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute (formerly Beatson Institute) is a world leading cancer research institute situated in Glasgow. Approximately 250 researchers split across 30 research groups consisting of PIs scientific officers postdoctoral scientists and PhD students drive cuttingedge research into the molecular mechanisms of cancer development. As well as core support from Cancer Research UK the Institute also receives an additional third of its total income from external grants and industry collaborations. It has an excellent reputation for fundamental cancer research including worldclass metabolism studies and renowned in vivo modelling of tumour growth and metastasis. Its research ethos is about excellence honesty openness accountability and integrity.

Position outline
The Translational Molecular Imaging Facility underpins advanced cancer research at the Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute. We work closely with research groups to develop innovative methods for visualising molecular pathways in cancer. Led by Dr. David Lewis our diverse team of scientists oversees a wide range of advanced molecular imaging projects. We possess expertise in positron emission tomography (PET) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiochemistry image analysis and mouse modelling. This is an exciting opportunity to join our team and directly contribute to maximising research output by collaborating on groundbreaking advances in PET/MR imaging.

We seek a Senior Scientific Officer to work alongside our teams delivering preclinical PET/MRI imaging projects in our stateoftheart facility. A degree in Biology (or similar) is required. A PhD (or equivalent experience) is an advantage along with experience in establishing in vivo mouse models and administering substances to laboratory animals. We vaue initiative curiosity enthusiasm and a strong collaborative spirit. While a Home Office licence knowledge of preclinical in vivo imaging technologies (such as PET SPECT CT MRI) and experience with imaging software are desirable we provide training and development opportunities.
