The successful candidate will develop an internationally leading research programme and lead our doctoral programme in Therapeutic Radiography, while shaping new educational initiatives in the field. The postholder will provide a key link between UCL’s Department of Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering and UCLH Radiotherapy and Proton Beam Therapy Departments, supporting multidisciplinary research and innovation. They will be an experienced therapeutic radiographer, offering professional research leadership and supporting wider AHP research capability.
