The Oncology Imaging Scientist is responsible for ensuring high-quality imaging data is integrated into oncology clinical trials. The role supports standardized imaging practices, delivers on imaging strategy across study teams, and ensures imaging endpoints are robust, regulatory-compliant, and enable confident decision-making in drug development. The Oncology Imaging Team’s mission is to deliver imaging strategies that elevate trial quality and reliability, evolve with emerging methods and technologies, and provide the imaging expertise that drives progress across GSK’s oncology portfolio.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Clinical Trial Support: Oversee and deliver imaging endpoints for early- to registrational-phase oncology clinical trials, ensuring high-quality tumor imaging data.

  • Tumor CRF Data Quality Assurance: Integrate seamlessly with Oncology Clinical Development study teams as a subject matter expert, performing instream imaging CRF data review and query resolution in collaboration with data management, ensuring consistency in longitudinal tumor assessments according to standard criteria, e.g., RECIST 1.1.

  • Operational Excellence: Provide advice and recommendations on standardization of imaging techniques to study teams and Clinical Operations colleagues, ensuring proper implementation and oversight of imaging in oncology clinical trials.

  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Network within GSK’s matrix environment to identify and meet stakeholder needs. Devise and present imaging strategies that improve drug development decision-making to progress assets through the oncology pipeline.

  • Novel Imaging Endpoints: Evaluate and implement cutting-edge imaging techniques such as AI, ML, GenAI/LLM, radiomic, and tumor growth kinetic methodologies.

  • Strategic Partnership: Work closely with cross-functional study teams (e.g., Clinical, Operations, Data Management, Quality, Biostats, Regulatory) and advanced technology groups (AI/ML) to define and implement registrational imaging endpoint strategies and advanced analytical methods for robust characterization of tumor response in oncology trials.

  • External Relationships: Build and maintain relationships with key external imaging experts from industry, imaging Contract Research Organizations (CROs), and academic institutions to support oncology-specific imaging needs. Represent GSK in oncology imaging forums, external meetings and consortia.

  • Global Network: Maintain a state-of-the-art knowledge of advances in oncology imaging and translate advanced imaging techniques from leading academic centers to multicenter settings, ensuring quality and consistency across sites.

  • Training and Documentation: Develop presentations and deliver training on study imaging requirements and oncology response criteria to study teams, Investigator Meetings, and CRA Trainings. Provide standardized technical documentation tailored to tumor type and modality (e.g., protocol language, acquisition manuals, imaging charters).

  • Vendor Supervision: Lead GSK’s partnerships with best-in-class imaging CROs by establishing robust operational governance, standardized documentation, and efficient workflows to ensure timely execution and accurate delivery of high-quality blinded independent central review (BICR) imaging data.

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising biotech jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

New Biotech Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Life Sciences Careers

The biotechnology job market in the UK is entering a new phase—one defined by scientific breakthroughs, targeted investment, and a growing pipeline of innovative employers. For professionals browsing BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, the key question is no longer just which companies exist, but which ones are scaling, hiring, and shaping the future of life sciences. In this article, we explore the new biotech employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK-based startups, scale-ups, and international firms with a growing UK presence. These organisations have recently secured funding, partnerships, or strategic backing—strong indicators of hiring momentum in the months ahead.
