Job Title: Non-Credit Adjunct Instructor: Radioligand Therapy (RLT) Manufacturing & Operations Training Location: Indianapolis Job Type: Contracted Technical Training, Adjunct Instructor Classification: Skills Training Adjunct Faculty Salary Range: Salary varies - Based on qualifications and experience Reports To: Ivy+ Career Link Project Manager Who We Are: Ivy Tech is Indiana’s community college and workforce engine, delivering: high-quality learning experiences that propel Indiana’s communities, measurable economic return, excellence in teaching, and industry-aligned credentials of value, empowering every learner to achieve lifelong success Our Values: •Empathy - We lead with care and connectivity, ensuring we meet our students where they are. •Integrity - We act responsibly and ethically in the best interest of our students, employees, partners, institution, and the State. •Agility - We move with purpose and adapt to the evolving needs of our students, employers, and the State. •Impact - We exist to change lives through quality education. Our About The Role: 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 Processing & Bioburden Control Cleanroom classification and behavior Aseptic technique and gowning procedures Sterilization and sanitization (rooms and materials) Environmental monitoring principles Pyrogen and viral contamination control Bioburden risk mitigation strategies Quality Systems & GMP Compliance Good Documentation Practices (GDP) SOP adherence and Batch Manufacturing Records (BMR) Correct documentation: signing, dating, and corrections External audits and inspection readiness CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) systems FDA and cGMP regulatory principles Process Controls & Quality Testing pH verification • Sterile filtration techniques Filter integrity testing and bubble point testing Sterility testing principles Endotoxin (LAL kinetic) testing In-process control parameter monitoring Radiopharmaceutical Operations & Equipment Equipment setup and verification Reaction setup and workflow walkthroughs Manufacturing system components and operation Controlled production environment practices Key Responsibilities of the Instructor The following is not to be construed as an exhaustive list. Other duties logically associated with this position may be assigned. All responsibilities will be conducted within the parameters of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), other applicable regulatory requirements, and professional standards. Implement the full RLT operator training curriculum using blended learning methods Facilitate hands-on simulations of aseptic processing and radiopharmaceutical manufacturing workflows Ensure training aligns with cGMP, FDA expectations, and internal quality systems Evaluate learner competency through assessments, practical demonstrations, and documentation exercises; identify skill gaps and provide data-driven feedback Provide recommendations to support the ongoing accuracy, regulatory alignment, and operational relevance of training materials Partner with QA, Manufacturing, and EHS teams to ensure safe and compliant training environments Facilitate training for both new and incumbent employees participating in the program Track training eff
