Basic Qualifications:

We are looking for professionals with these required skills to achieve our goals:

• Bachelor's degree in a biomedical or imaging-related field.

• Experience in clinical imaging using multiple radiological imaging modalities (e.g., CT, PET, MRI, scintigraphy) and tumor assessment criteria (e.g., RECIST 1.1, PCWG3, RANO, Lugano, etc.).

• CRO/pharma experience in drug development.  

• Experience with clinical trial design and statistics for imaging endpoints.  

Preferred Qualifications:

If you have the following characteristic, it would be a plus:

• Medical, Master's, or PhD degree with imaging experience in clinical pharmacology, radiology, nuclear medicine, or drug development.

• Excellent communication and influencing skills.  

• Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
