Radiology Research Manager (EF:100)

The Department of Radiology, including Nuclear Medicine, is a large care group in the Trust and provides a full range of imaging and treatment services to numerous specialities including hepatobiliary, vascular, renal, cardiac and trauma. We image and treat a large population within our local community in South-East London and are also a well-recognised specialist tertiary referral centre, imaging and treating patients from all over the South-East of England and further afield.

Unless there is explicit separation between Radiology and Nuclear Medicine specialities, reference from now on will be made to the Radiology Department which includes Nuclear Medicine.

The Department of Radiology plays a key role in King's extensive research network. This role is best suited to an experienced Radiographer or Technologist, with experience in how research is managed within a Radiology Department.

The role of the Research Manager is to be responsible for the efficient, timely and responsive coordination and management of research activity (commercial and non-commercial trials) requiring involvement of Radiology and/or Nuclear Medicine.
