The Imaging Research

Specialist will serve as the technical lead for a Canada's Drug Agency-funded initiative to build an automated imaging research pipeline for the Canadian Registry for Pulmonary Fibrosis (CARE-PF). This is a senior role for an experienced individual who can independently take on the large majority of the technical and coordination work, apply existing expertise directly to the project, and deliver against a milestone-based funding timeline over one year with minimal supervision. There is no room to learn the fundamentals on the job: the successful candidate is expected to arrive already fluent in medical imaging data (DICOM/PACS), health-research ethics and privacy,



and research computing infrastructure, and to translate that expertise readily into a working pipeline.

The incumbent will design, build, and operate an automated workflow for retrieving, de-identifying, and securely storing CT imaging for consented registry patients, and will establish and administer a central imaging platform built on XNAT to support quantitative image analysis and multi-site research collaboration. A manual proof-of-concept has already been developed and tested at UBC; the incumbent will independently automate and scale it, and lead the technical work required to replicate the pipeline at CARE-PF sites across Canada ( e.g. The incumbent will act as the central point of contact linking radiology, hospital and university IT, medical imaging, hospital and research administration, privacy and ethics offices, patient partners, and co-investigators at sites in multiple provinces.

Prior experience leading projects and coordinating across departments or institutions is therefore essential. The successful candidate will help shape a current imaging research program from the ground up, and there is potential for the role to grow in scope and responsibility over time as the program develops and as additional funding is secured, which the incumbent will actively help to pursue.
