Lead Radiographer

We are looking to appoint a Lead Radiographer – LEGACY Network to join the Oxford Vaccine Group.

About the role and you

Join us at the Oxford Vaccine Group as we lead the ground-breaking LEGACY IIII Network – a UK-wide consortium of ten centres funded by MRC/UKRI. This pioneering project (the Lymph nodE single cell Genomics AnCestrY immunity, infection, inflammation and immunisation Network), will transform our understanding of lymph node function in infection and immunity, helping to shape the next generation of vaccines and treatments.

As the LEGACY IIII Network Lead Radiographer, you’ll take a leadership role in developing and standardising cutting-edge research ultrasound and biopsy techniques across the network. You’ll be at the centre of innovation – training colleagues, creating and publishing nationally recognised and accredited standard operating procedures (SOPs), and driving excellence in clinical governance, education and research.

The postholder will be managed by the Chief Investigator, Prof Katrina Pollock, Associate Director of People and Culture of the Oxford Vaccine Group, with the senior radiology team, Dr Rajat Chowdhury, Consultant Lead in Musculoskeletal Radiology, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH), and Dr Madhuchanda Bhattacharyya, Consultant Lead in Breast Radiology (OUH). You will work closely with the radiology research team, the Oxford Vaccine Group, and the Oxford Clinical Research Facility. You will also work closely with clinicians and researchers across the Network at the Universities of Newcastle, Cardiff, Liverpool, Glasgow, Birmingham, Cambridge as well as University College London and the St George’s Vaccine Institute.

This is your chance to help build a national hub of excellence in lymph node research and put the UK at the forefront of immunity research and vaccine innovation.

This role meets the criteria for a UK Skilled Worker visa.
