An exciting opportunity exists to be the Editor of the Society of Radiographers' renowned Imaging and Oncology publication.
Imaging & Oncology is an exciting publication produced annually by the Society of Radiographers, which features 10-12 thought-provoking articles affecting and/or influencing our professions.
The current Editor, Professor Ruth Strudwick, has done an outstanding job during her tenure as Editor and her term of office is drawing to a close.
We are therefore seeking an experienced member of the profession, with both publication and reviewing skills, to join our publications team with effect from September 2024.
Working with our publisher you will complete a digital issue of Imaging & Oncology, each year in time for an annual launch at UKIO.
You will be responsible for identifying suitable topics and commissioning authors and will liaise with, and report to, the Executive Director of Professional Policy.
A strength of Imaging & Oncology is its diversity of authors. In past issues, professionals including radiographers, radiologists, oncologists, physicists, physiotherapists, nurses, vascular scientists, obstetricians, and military personnel have contributed.
The remit is broad, and authors are encouraged to express bold or innovative opinions on aspects of diagnostic imaging, radiotherapy, service provision, health policy education, research, and patient perspectives.
Traditionally, articles are commissioned from both novice authors and experienced, well-established writers. Working in collaboration with the Executive Director of Professional Policy and SOR publishers, we will explore new and innovative ways of presenting articles and work.
A good knowledge of contemporary issues and developments affecting imaging and oncology services in the UK is essential.
Full support will be provided, and a comprehensive handover will be available from the outgoing Editor.
We are committed to cultivating an inclusive and diverse workplace and ensuring that our publications are representative of the diversity in our membership. We believe that this fosters creativity and innovation and is representative of the world around us.
Anyone with the suitable skills is eligible to apply. We would particularly like to encourage people who are protected by the Equalities Act to apply, especially those from an ethnically diverse background to ensure we are representing the true diversity of our membership body.
Additionally, if you need assistance with your application, or a reasonable adjustment to the process – for example, because you are neurodivergent, or have a physical, sensory, cognitive, mental, visible, or invisible disability – please let us know, and we will be happy to help.
If you have the skills, experience, talent and commitment to join our team in this exciting role, we would like to hear from you.
