Staff Radiochemist Position

The Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS) was established to bring together scientists and
physicians who share a common interest in developing and using state-of-the-art imaging technology and
developing molecular imaging assays for studying intact biological systems. MIPS has a small animal
imaging facility, a radiopharmaceutical facility, and clinical imaging equipment in the Department of
Radiology including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission
tomography combined with CT (PET/CT), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
Stanford University is committed to increasing representation of women and members of minority groups
on its faculty and particularly encourages applications from such candidates. Stanford University offers a
competitive salary and an excellent benefits package. Level of appointment and salary are negotiable and
will be commensurate with experience.
We invite applications for the following position:
STAFF RADIOCHEMIST
Candidates must have a B.S. degree in chemistry (synthetic/organic, medicinal, or analytical) and/or
radiochemistry experience (with advanced degree preferred). On-the-job training with PET/SPECT
radiochemistry and cyclotron operation will be provided to successful candidate if needed. Individual will
prepare routine (e.g., [18F]FDG, [18F]NaF, [13N]NH3) and/or research radiopharmaceuticals (e.g., [11C]PIB,
[18F]EF-5, [18F]FLT) safely for human use under FDA-guidelines (e.g., GMP and FDA regulations,
RDRC/eIND/IND applications). In addition to routine radiopharmaceutical production, the well-qualified
candidate will develop new [F-18] and [C-11]-labeled radiopharmaceuticals as well as radiosynthetic methods
for MIPS. Strong analytical/trouble-shooting, detail-oriented, and organizational skills are essential. Good
written and oral communication skills, ability to work independently on assigned tasks, and being able to
function in a multidisciplinary environment are also required. Experience with automated syntheses, microwave
chemistry, microfluidics, and biology are desired but not necessary.
