We are looking for a talented and motivated Scientist to join the Radiation Biology Programme within NPL’s Radiotherapy and Radiation Dosimetry Group. This is a permanent position offering the opportunity to contribute to and shape a diverse portfolio of radiation biology projects that support both scientific excellence and real-world impact. The successful candidate will play a leading role in selected research activities while working across a broad range of programmes and collaborations spanning research, industry and healthcare.
At NPL, our radiation biology research is underpinned by metrology. We focus on improving the quality, robustness and standardisation of measurements to increase confidence in radio-biological data and support better decision‑making across the research and clinical communities. Alongside this, we are working to improve our mechanistic understanding of radiation response through the development and application of new and more rigorous and reproducible radiobiological methodologies. The role offers a unique opportunity to work at the interface between measurement science, biology and healthcare. Our work is closely connected to academic researchers, industrial partners, healthcare providers, regulators and government organisations. As a result, the successful candidate will see the direct impact of their work in helping to address real‑world challenges and improve outcomes across the radiation sciences community.
A key part of the role will involve engaging with a broad range of stakeholders to understand their needs and translate these into innovative metrological solutions. You will work closely with government bodies, regulatory organisations, clinical teams, industrial partners and academic institutions to ensure that NPL research delivers meaningful and lasting benefit.
