The department has posts for up to four fellows across cross-sectional imaging and interventional radiology (usually 3 cross-sectional posts, 1 interventional post).

Further experience will be gained in specialist MR, with imaging performed to cater for a wide variety of tertiary subspecialist MDTs.

The associated job-plan is provisionally split into 32 hours per week of direct clinical care including CT, MR and PET-CT scanning, with eight hours for research and administration. Sub-specialty interests are welcomed. Applicants should have a specific interest in specialist oncological imaging and clinical research. There are on-going audit and research opportunities in the department and these would be actively encouraged.
