Director / Senior Director Clinical Imaging Research Scientist
role at
BioSpace . At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our employees globally work to discover and bring life‑changing medicines to those who need them, improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We give our best effort to our work, and we put people first.
Organization Overview The Senior Director - Clinical Imaging Research Scientist role occupies a key position within the advanced image analysis group, supporting quantitative analysis of images obtained within clinical trials across therapeutic areas such as Oncology, Diabetes, Immunology, and Neurodegeneration. In Oncology trials the individual will play a crucial role in diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of theranostics, including development, validation, and implementation of robust image analysis methodologies to extract quantitative imaging information and determine appropriate personalized dosimetry and treatment procedures. Coordination and partnership with Lilly clinical scientists, nuclear medicine physicians, medical physicists, and image management teams will be essential for integrating novel clinical imaging approaches.
Responsibilities
Provide strategic and technical input on the development, implementation, and evaluation of imaging biomarkers and image analysis techniques across clinical development phases and therapeutic areas.
Analyze molecular imaging data from targeted radionuclide therapy studies to locate tumors, assess tracer biodistribution for personalized dosimetry and treatment planning, and evaluate treatment efficacy through follow‑up imaging.
Design and implement customized imaging programs in clinical trials, leveraging novel and standard methodologies.
Lead cross‑functional projects with internal research and clinical teams, including medical, operations, statistics, and regulatory staff.
Develop and maintain productive external partnerships (CROs, software developers, scanner manufacturers, academic institutions) to support validation of clinical imaging instrumentation.
Evaluate key scientific developments in clinical image analysis and implement emerging technologies, including modeling and artificial intelligence.
Develop, validate, and implement image analysis methodologies and software tools for quantitative clinical image analyses across modalities such as PET, SPECT, CT, and MRI.
Author and review clinical trial documents, including protocols, study reports, and technical manuals.
Communicate, present, and publish conference abstracts and manuscripts.
Basic Requirements
PhD or MD with a specialization in Medical Imaging, Biomedical Engineering, Computational Biology, or a related image analysis discipline with a minimum of 5 years of professional experience in clinical imaging applications.
Additional Skills/Preferences
Evidence of direct role and contribution to medical image analysis in targeted radionuclide therapy studies (publications, conference presentations, or developed software).
Knowledge of physiological and instrumental factors affecting quantitative accuracy of clinical imaging procedures in oncology, especially targeted radionuclide therapies.
Strong technical understanding of SPECT, PET, CT, and MR image acquisition, reconstruction, processing, quantitative analyses, and interpretations for therapeutic applications.
Participation in clinical trials and implementation of imaging biomarkers.
Proven expertise in programming, developing, and customizing image analysis software.
Proven leadership, organizational, and communication skills.
Additional Information
Ability to travel 5‑10 % of the time.
