Job Description

Essential Responsibilities

• Support collaborative academic and clinical partners (radiologists, physicists, technologists, and specialists) in highly collaborative clinical research with emphasis on assigned key academic and clinical sites in Computed Tomography (CT).
• Assist in maturing evidence portfolio (writing journal publications/summary articles, technical documents, clinical marketing/training collaterals) and identifying unique opportunities for partnership (contributing to letters of support, research proposals, supporting identified grant submissions).
• Support adoption of new technology or clinical applications through advocacy and evidence.
• Participate in customer presentations regarding use of products for institution research purposes.
• Closely connect with GEHC global modality clinical and R&D teams, explore unmet clinical and technical needs with external collaborators, identify new research needs and build evidence.
• Maintain and grow collaborator networks, increase connections between sites, and facilitate multi-site collaborations.  Enable sites to strengthen their own independent research activities through providing inputs to study design, methodology, focal area, and awareness of publication landscape.
• Drive insights into GEHC R&D roadmap planning, and partnering with other functions (marketing, engineering, regulatory) for optimal utilization of GE results.
• Support customer satisfaction through communication, observation, and escalation of site inquiries/concerns.
• Grow technology leadership mindshare through joint co-authored and lead authored scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals.
• Support adjustments to configuration or research tools (e.g., software, prototypes, off-line analysis) as it relates to collaborative activity.
• Provide support in pre- and post-market evidence generation at collaborating institutions, working with GE functional teams (e.g., Medical and Scientific Affairs, modality research, engineering) to optimize research collaborations and approach tied to GE product development needs and aligned institution interests.
