• 8+ years in medical physics/imaging within biotech/pharma, with RLT experience.
• Proficiency in OLINDA, dosimetry software, and imaging modalities (PET/SPECT).
• Strong understanding of radiation biology and patient-specific modeling.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with experience in site qualifications and regulatory compliance.

Responsibilities

• Clinical Imaging Ownership: Oversee the design and implementation of imaging protocols (e.g., PET/CT, SPECT) for RLT trials, ensuring standardization and data quality for biodistribution and response assessment.
• OLINDA Modeling: Lead the use of OLINDA/EXM software for organ-level dosimetry modeling, predicting radiation doses from RLT agents to inform safe dosing.
• Patient-Specific Dosimetry Planning: Develop and execute individualized dosimetry plans, integrating imaging data with pharmacokinetic models to personalize RLT treatments and minimize toxicity.
• Site Qualification: Qualify and train clinical sites for RLT imaging and physics requirements, including equipment calibration, radiation safety, and data transfer protocols.
• Data Analysis and Integration: Analyze imaging and dosimetry data to support clinical endpoints, safety monitoring, and regulatory submissions.
• Innovation in Physics: Advance RLT methodologies, such as AI-enhanced dosimetry or novel imaging biomarkers.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with clinical operations, regulatory, and R&D to embed imaging/physics into trial designs.
• Team Building: Lead a team of medical physicists and imaging specialists (including contractors and CROs).
