Teddington, Greater London, United Kingdom National Physical Laboratory Full time

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join the world-leading Radiotherapy and Radiation Dosimetry group at the National Physical Laboratory. As a Higher Scientist, you'll be expected to acquire new knowledge to find solutions to advance our research. You'll also be responsible for flagging commercial opportunities arising from your work, which can lead to the development of new products and services. At NPL, we value collaboration, respect, and continuous learning to achieve our goals and deliver high-quality services to our customers.

The Radiotherapy and Radiation Dosimetry group provides world-class research, calibrations, and measurement services for the dosimetry of ionising radiation in cancer therapy, industrial sterilisation of medical devices and pharmaceuticals, and radiation protection. We're looking for a talented physicist with significant experience in radiation therapy dosimetry to plan and deliver a variety of exciting research projects and measurement services that support the development of dosimetry for new and emerging radiotherapy techniques. This may include:
  • Support of primary standard measurements using graphite calorimeters in various radiotherapy modalities.
  • The use of modelling techniques using Monte Carlo methods.
  • The development of tools and guidelines for clinical adoption of microdosimetry.
  • The development of measurement techniques and detectors for various radiotherapy modalities.
  • Presenting research results in the form of publications, reports, and oral presentations at symposia and international conferences.

Key Responsibilities

As a Higher Scientist, you'll be responsible for assisting in the development and delivery of a range of medical and radiation protection related measurement services for approximately 1/3 of your time. This will involve working on-site at Teddington, using our state-of-the-art facilities, and occasionally working off-site at various clinical medical physics departments or in overseas centres. You'll also be responsible for applying your expertise to solve customer challenges and help grow our commercial business in this area, as well as working closely with the radiotherapy community.

We're now working in a hybrid way, with a mix of remote and office working. We strive to offer a great work-life balance, and we're open to discussing flexible options with the right candidate. To be successful in this role, you should have a good first degree in the physical sciences and a relevant PhD and/or postgraduate experience. You'll also need to be willing to occasionally work off-site or abroad for limited periods of time. We encourage continuous professional development and seek membership of relevant professional bodies. Other requirements include excellent experimental skills, high computer literacy, excellent written and oral presentation skills, and a strong attention to detail and adherence to the highest quality standards.
