    <![CDATA[*Scientific Officer 2/Academic Researcher Grade 5 in Molecular Imaging*

*Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute and the  Department of Radiology, University of Cambridge*

Europe's top cancer charity, Cancer Research UK, has combined with the University of Cambridge to create the world class Cambridge Research Institute (CRI) situated on the Addenbrooke's Biomedical Campus in Cambridge.

The Institute's research ranges from basic cancer biology through translational research to clinical application. The Institute currently houses 300 researchers and contains brand new state-of-the-art research facilities.

The molecular imaging group aims to develop disease-specific markers for detection and treatment of cancer. The CRI has a well equipped imaging unit with PET, CT, MRI, and bioluminescent imaging, as well as first class core facilities for genomics, histology and microscopy. The Department of Radiology has some of the best imaging equipment available for human imaging.

The successful candidate will be employed on a number of projects including the development of imaging approaches with hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI as well as new PET tracers.

You should have a degree in biomedical, life or physical sciences, and/or experience in basic biochemical and cell culture techniques. Experience of working in the area invivo imaging would be desirable. You will have a degree of professional autonomy and responsibility, will be part of a well-qualified multi-disciplinary team and will perform research with help and guidance.

As part of your application, please provide details of three referees you are happy for us to contact at any stage in the process. This is a four year post in the first instance.
