Senior Clinical Scientist in Clinical Scientific Computing

Job overview

Are you an experienced Clinical Scientist with a passion for computing, data, and transforming healthcare through innovation? Join us at UCLH and take a leading role in shaping the future of Clinical Scientific Computing (CSC). We are recruiting a Senior Clinical Scientist to join our CSC team within the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at UCLH – a leading department at the forefront of digital research and innovation.

We are looking for a state registered Clinical Scientist, but we welcome applicants with appropriate experience who could achieve registration via the equivalence route within 3 years.

You’ll be joining us at a pivotal time. Our service is evolving to meet the growing demand for digital and data driven healthcare, and this senior role is key to driving that transformation. You will help lead and deliver a full range of scientific computing services; from bespoke clinical systems and regulated medical device software to research computing, data science, automation, and interoperability.

This role offers the opportunity to contribute to service strategy, develop strong partnerships with clinical, digital and academic colleagues, and mentor others as we grow our programming and data science capability. If you’re motivated by tackling real healthcare challenges, enjoy thinking big as well as working in technical depth, and value emotional intelligence and communication as much as scientific expertise, we’d be excited to hear from you.

Main duties of the job

You will work closely with the Head and Deputy Head of Clinical Scientific Computing, as well as clinical scientists, analysts and wider colleagues across Medical Physics. You will also build strong and productive working relationships with clinicians, scientists, clinical managers, UCLH Digital Healthcare Technology staff, and their commercial partners.

We provide major scientific computing support for Radiotherapy, Proton Beam Therapy, Nuclear Medicine, Sterile Services, Neurophysiology and Women’s Health, alongside a wide range of other clinical areas. You will be part of a specialist team delivering some on call and extended hours support to Radiotherapy and Proton Beam Therapy.

You will use your organisational skills to manage projects involving multiple clinical, commercial and technical stakeholders, while applying your technical and scientific expertise, along with your understanding of regulatory requirements, risk management and quality management, to evaluate, specify, implement and support clinical systems.

We have close links with UCL and are accredited by the National School of Healthcare Science (NSHCS) to host and support trainees in Clinical Scientific Computing. We want you to play an active role in research, development and innovation, and we will support you to develop your strengths and interests, whether these are in programming, data science, AI or other areas of clinical scientific computing.
