Beskrivning
The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 58 000 students and 6800 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.
The Institute of Clinical Sciences is one of six Institutes within Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg. We conduct research and education that puts people's health and quality of life in focus. We represent 16 different research areas and are divided into four sections. Through a fruitful collaboration with the healthcare and Sahlgrenska University Hospital, we have developed joint projects and meeting places that benefits both health care and research.
The Institute of Clinical Sciences is now seeking a researcher to be based at the Department of Medical Radiation Sciences. The department conducts research and education in medical physics.
The research group in nuclear medicine physics develops methods for improved image quality, including Monte Carlo simulations and AI-based methods, as well as radiation dose calculations and response models for cancer treatments with radiopharmaceuticals. The main focus of the position is small-scale dosimetry for therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, initially with a particular focus on bone marrow dosimetry.
Duties
Tasks included in employment is development of new methods for small-scale dosimetry, and to contribute with teaching activities within the medical physics program. The researcher will contribute to drafting and publishing scientific findings based on the performed analysis, and to apply for external fundings.
Qualifications
The position requires education and experience in nuclear medicine, with a focus on small-scale dosimetry. The applicant must hold a doctoral degree in the field, and previous postdoctoral experience in the area is considered an advantage. The applicant must have good knowledge of MATLAB programming and extensive experience in Monte Carlo simulations.
Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities, particularly the ability to work independently and strong organizational skills. The successful applicant is expected to independently plan, perform and analyse experiments, and to actively contribute scientifically to the research group. Applicants should have excellent general research skills, strong scientific writing skills, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. Fluency in spoken and written English is essential.
Employment
The position is a full-time, permanent position (100%), placed at the Institute of Clinical Sciences, Department of medical radiation sciences. A probationary employment period of 6 months may be applied. Starting date: 1st of September.
