The adjunct specialist for Radioligand Therapy is responsible for delivering a structured 32-hour foundational training program for incumbent employees and new operators entering radioligand therapy manufacturing operations. This role ensures learners achieve operator‑level competency in radiopharmaceutical production, aseptic processing, radiation safety, and current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements. The instructor will translate complex radiochemistry, sterile manufacturing principles, and regulatory expectations into applied, hands‑on learning experiences that prepare employees to safely and effectively operate within a radioligand therapy production environment.

Instructional materials and course content are developed by Ivy Tech subject matter experts. The instructor is responsible for facilitating learning, connecting concepts to industry practice, guiding hands‑on activities, and assessing learner competency.

Training Program Ownership (Core Responsibility):
The instructor will lead delivery of a Radioligand Therapy Operator Training Program that combines lecture, discussion, and guided hands‑on activities to develop workforce readiness in radiopharmaceutical manufacturing. Instruction is delivered through scheduled 3–5‑day bootcamp cohorts as a part‑time adjunct teaching assignment.

Course:
Non‑Credit Radioligand Therapy Operator Training:
The Radioligand Therapy course is a foundational program introducing operators to radioligands and cancer therapy drug manufacturing operations. The course builds operator‑level competencies across radiopharmaceutical production, aseptic processing, and quality systems. Learners are trained in radioactive isotopes, decay physics, lutetium‑177 chemistry, ligand systems, and end‑to‑end manufacturing processes including aseptic filling, sterile filtration, and quality control testing. Through this bootcamp‑style instruction, participants develop the knowledge and skills required for work in a regulated biopharmaceutical manufacturing environment.

Candidates are not expected to be subject matter experts in every topic listed below. Instructors should possess relevant industry experience and working knowledge across many of the following areas.

• Radiochemistry & Core Science
• Radioactive isotopes
• Radioactive decay and half‑life
• Lutetium‑177 chemistry
• Ligand systems and radiolabeling principles
• Radioactivity handling and decay calculations
• Radiopharmaceutical Manufacturing Process
• End‑to‑end manufacturing workflow overview
• Radiolabeling of precursor with ¹⁷⁷LuCl₃
• Production solution preparation
• Formulation processes
• Aseptic filling operations
• Line clearance procedures
• Final drug product handling
• Aseptic…
