PET Data Analyst and Modeller (Research Associate)

College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences

We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate to join our Imaging team in the School of Cancer Sciences and play a leading role in shaping the future of molecular imaging at the University of Glasgow.

This PET Data Analyst and Modeller post focuses on developing and applying analysis pipelines for complex total-body PET imaging data from the MRC-funded Scotland Total-Body PET facility. The role involves performing kinetic modelling, parametric mapping, direct reconstruction and network analysis, as well as validating results using other techniques. You will also conduct developmental and translational work using preclinical total-body data acquired across the Scotland facility.

A key part of your responsibilities will be to lead research and innovation outcomes by designing protocols, collecting and analysing data, and publishing your findings in peer-reviewed journals.

This is a highly collaborative position where you'll interact directly and indirectly with a major multidisciplinary team, including staff and students from the Molecular Imaging Facility at the Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute, the Whole-Body Imaging Facility and the Imaging Centre of Excellence at the University of Glasgow, as well as NHS colleagues at the West of Scotland PET Centre. This includes physicists, technicians, radiochemists, image analysts, research scientists, and clinical researchers. This role is a key part of the University’s strategic investment in imaging infrastructure. You will also collaborate with teams at the University of Edinburgh, a partner institution on the Total-Body PET Scotland Facility project. The post-holder will be based at the University of Glasgow.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Professor David Lewis David.Lewis@glasgow.ac.uk
