About the Job

Requirements

  • An MSc, PhD, or MD in medical physics, nuclear medicine physics, biomedical engineering, radiochemistry, or a closely related discipline; an equivalent clinical qualification as a nuclear medicine physician, certified medical physicist, or senior nuclear medicine technologist with commensurate clinical trial experience will also be considered.
  • At least 5 years of relevant industry experience for appointment at Associate Director, or 8 or more years for appointment at Director.
  • Direct experience designing and managing imaging aspects of clinical protocols for oncology radiopharmaceutical agents, including study design, endpoint selection, dosimetry, harmonisation between clinical sites, and imaging core lab oversight.
  • Specific experience with imaging study design and direct or indirect estimation of normal organ and tumour dosimetry for early-stage clinical development of radioligand therapy agents.
  • Demonstrated expertise in quantitative SPECT/CT and PET/CT in a clinical setting.
  • Working knowledge of internal dosimetry principles.
  • Experience authoring imaging charters and site imaging manuals to regulatory standards.
  • Experience selecting and governing imaging CROs, core laboratories, or dosimetry vendors.
  • Fluency in oncology response assessment, including RECIST 1.1, PCWG, and molecular imaging response frameworks.
  • Experience contributing imaging or dosimetry content to IND/CTA submissions and responses to health authority questions.
  • Work effectively in a fast-paced biotech environment in a hands-on, self-directed capacity.
  • Work well under pressure, independently and as part of a team.
  • Strong organisational, planning, and time management skills.
  • Commitment to safety, continuous improvement, and staying current with industry trends and advances.

Responsibilities

  • Develop clinical imaging and dosimetry strategies to support clinical development plans for the company's radioligand therapy agents.
  • Design and implement imaging protocols, plans, and procedures for clinical studies.
  • Define quantitative imaging standards across the portfolio, including acquisition and reconstruction parameters, calibration and quality-control frameworks, and site qualification criteria for SPECT/CT and PET/CT.
  • Oversee dosimetry methodology, including segmentation and registration, time-activity curve fitting, time-integrated activity estimation, and organ- and lesion-level absorbed dose calculation.
  • Evaluate and integrate emerging imaging methods, including surrogate-isotope approaches and automated lesion segmentation.
  • Author imaging charters, site imaging manuals, data transmittal specifications, and analysis plans.
  • Contribute imaging and dosimetry content to protocols, amendments, schedules of assessment, informed consent forms, Investigator's Brochures, and clinical study reports.
  • Provide oversight and guidance for all aspects of medical imaging for clinical trials.
  • Oversee site imaging feasibility, qualification, and activation, including equipment surveys, phantom acceptance, test transmissions, and cross-calibration between dose calibrators and cameras.
  • Deliver training on imaging requirements and response criteria to investigators, technologists, study teams, and clinical research associates, including at investigator meetings.
  • Oversee contract research organization vendors, including imaging core laboratories and dosimetry vendors.
  • Manage the resolution of technical, radiological, and dosimetry questions and issues at study and program levels.
  • Provide subject matter expertise regarding advanced imaging techniques, including PET/CT, SPECT/CT, MRI, CT, and other modalities as needed, image evaluation, and dosimetry estimation.
  • Support health authority interactions on imaging and dosimetry, including IND/CTA content and responses to agency questions.
  • Lead imaging and dosimetry academic collaborations and contractor and vendor/partner interactions, and build and maintain a network of external experts to inform protocol design.
  • Provide scientific and technical support and oversight in research activities.
  • Contribute to abstracts, posters, manuscripts, and scientific presentations.

Desired Qualifications

  • Direct experience with lead-212 or other alpha emitters.
  • Experience with elementally matched imaging surrogates for treatment planning, including lead-203.
  • Prostate cancer experience and familiarity with prostate-specific membrane antigen PET tracers and response criteria.
  • First-in-human and dose-escalation experience.
  • Prior experience at an imaging contract research organization or imaging core laboratory.

About the Company

ARTBIO

Develops radioligand therapies for cancer

ARTBIO develops targeted radioligand therapies to treat cancer. Its lead program AB001 has entered first-in-human studies, and two other targets, ABA and ABB, are under development. These therapies use radioligands that bind to tumor cells with high affinity and deliver radiation directly to tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. ARTBIO differentiates itself through a differentiated pipeline, strong collaborations with F Prime and Radforsk, and a team with decades of experience in drug development, aiming to advance cancer therapies from clinical trials to market. The company’s goal is to bring its therapies to healthcare providers and patients, generating revenue through sales and potential licensing as its treatments gain regulatory approval.
