Job Details

Have you wanted to work in clinical research using your ability to analyze medical images? Do you have a desire to contribute to pharmaceutical research as a core member of an Imaging Research and Development team? Lilly is looking for a dynamic scientist to join our team. Do you have strong communication, interpersonal, teamwork, and organizational skills? Have you supported clinical trial research? You will use your image analysis skills to provide technical insight to support of the clinical therapeutic portfolio. You will be computationally adept and responsible for the design, image analysis and interpretation of medical imaging in clinical trials. You will apply experience in image analysis, processing, and modeling and work cross-functionally within Lilly as well as with external imaging collaborators. We are looking for an independent, flexible and innovative scientist to work collaboratively to advance clinical image analysis and research improving the lives of our patients.

In this role your responsibilities will include:
  • Provide strategic and technical input on the development, implementation and quantitative evaluation of imaging biomarker analysis techniques in various phases of clinical development across therapeutic areas such as Oncology, and, in particular, Immuno-Oncology.
  • Design and implement customized multi-modal image analysis (segmentation, registration, abnormality characterization) pipelines, leveraging between novel strategies and standard methodologies.
  • Assess CT, MRI and/or PET image analysis as diagnostic and treatment response biomarkers
  • Implement emerging technologies including computer vision, neural networks, unsupervised/supervised learning
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with internal research and clinical (medical, operations, statistics, regulatory) teams as well as external CROs to support the validation of imaging biomarkers and their application in therapeutic development.
  • Evaluate emerging imaging technologies, capture and communicate scientific intelligence, identify key scientific developments and implement them in the image analysis pipelines
  • Contribute to design, editing, writing and reviewing protocols and technical imaging documents (e.g., technical manuals, imaging review charters).
  • Communicate, present and publish results of research projects and clinical trials as appropriate.
  • Independently conduct all stages of the projects with minimal supervision.
