CTSC:ImageInformationAndAnalysisLiaisonJobDescription

Job description and qualities of the Image Information and Acquisition Liaison (Medical Imaging Navigator)

The newly formed Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) is seeking a highly skilled clinical imaging expert to manage the CTSC Imaging Consortium Consult Service. The overall goal of the CTSC is to facilitate clinical and translational research throughout Harvard and at the associated Academic Healthcare Centers (MGH, BIDMC, Children’s Hospital, BWH, DFCI and others) by encouraging connections and helping trainees and faculty gain access to resources. As the CTSC Imaging Consortium liaison, you will become broadly knowledgeable in a wide range of research topics and will become familiar with the resources available for imaging research in the Boston area. You will be the first point of contact for researchers who need help for medical imaging research projects from the CTSC, and you will guide them in determining whether CTSC grant programs or CTSC lab resources would be helpful to them. In the course of your daily activities, you will routinely make connections between researchers with complementary skills who are unaware of each others’ work. Your goal will be to encourage and support collaborations of all kinds in the area of clinical and translational medical imaging research. This position will draw on many of the same organizational skills that would be required to be a successful project manager at a large pharmaceutical company, and will require similar intellectual breadth to that required for an editor at a major journal.
