Major accountabilities include:

• Act as an internal expert in PET/SPECT and Molecular Imaging with focus on clinical trials
• Partner with Oncology and General Medicine teams to develop and lead “fit for purpose” imaging strategy and execute on it.
• Implement Imaging in clinical trials to add critical insights on patient eligibility, efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action.
• Collaborate and execute imaging readouts with internal operational support and external contract research organizations (CRO).
• Ensure quality and timely execution of imaging trials to deliver critical drug development decisions; be agile and responsive to clinical teams during the course of design, execution and interpretation of imaging trials.
• Develop and manage network of external experts; be able to synthesize optimal inputs and customize for specific protocols.
• Collaborate with Research teams to develop and lead translational imaging studies.
• Drive molecular imaging and ligand development from late pre-clinic to clinic
• Identify and/or develop novel imaging techniques and endpoints and implement them into clinical

Minimum requirements:

• PhD or MD or MD/PhD with 5+ years of experience in PET/SPECT Imaging in academia or industry ; Industrial Experience in clinical trial & translational research is highly desirable especially in Leadership roles
• Must have deep technical knowledge in PET and SPECT as applied to in-life readouts (preclinic and clinic)
• Experience in clinical Radioligand/Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RLT/RPT) is a plus
• Expertise in Radiochemistry, novel ligand development from bench to clinic is a plus
• Experience in Regulatory submission, FIH , Dosimetry and receptor occupancy of molecular ligands is a plus
• Expertise at the intersection of biomarkers and clinical needs along different stages of drug development
• Ability to balance external science (e.g., literature, KOL inputs) with optimal needs in projects.
• Demonstrated track record of innovative research preferably across imaging modalities
• Strong understanding of clinical trial design, statistics for endpoints and clinical data flow is required. Experience with clinical protocol writing across various line functions is required
• Track record of project management and experience working with imaging CROs; Understanding of sites, budgets and experience with multisite trials is a plus
• Proactive, self- motivated and independent working style. Used to work in a multidisciplinary team and understand the needs and goals of the broader organization
