Phd/postdoc Position in Adaptive Mri-guided

3 maanden geleden

Utrecht, Nederland UMC Utrecht Voltijd

The department of Radiotherapy of the University Medical Center Utrecht is looking for a PhD-student or postdoc to extend the current capabilities and patient inclusion criteria for modern MR-guided radiotherapy treatment machines, ie. the MR-Linac.**Elke dag de zorg en de gezondheid van mensen verbeteren**Goede arbeidsvoorwaarden**Jezelf continu blijven ontwikkelen vinden we belangrijk**

**Dit ga je doen**

**Background**

The MR-Linac, a combination of a radiotherapy system and a 1.5T MRI scanner, has allowed RT treatment delivery with unprecedented precision. This is mainly due to its ability to deliver radiation and simultaneously provide MR images, allowing clear visualization and identification of the tumor and organs-at-risk.

Despite its high potential to yield higher chance of curation while decreasing toxicity, the MR-Linac is however currently limited by its somewhat restricted treatment field size of 22cm in the feet/head direction. As a consequence, patients with extensive disease cannot be treated on the MR-Linac.

**Hier ga je werken**

You will be working at Center for Image Sciences at the UMC Utrecht, within the Radiotherapy department. You will work in a multi-disciplinary environment with technical and clinical colleagues, embedded in a large radiotherapy clinic. The department has 3 MRI-accelerator systems, 11 conventional radiotherapy systems and state-of-the-art imaging systems, CT, 1.5T and 3T MRI and a MRI-guided brachytherapy suite, treating approximately 5500 new patients annually. Together this provides the infra-structure to (technically) explore and clinically evaluate technical innovations.

**Dit neem je mee**
- You have obtained your master’s degree or PhD in physics, biomedical engineering, technical medicine, medical physics or a related field in applied medical sciences.
- You have a background in MR-physics and/or demonstrable experience with MR sequence development.
- You have experience with Matlab or Python programming (basic knowledge of C++ programming is also preferred).
- You are proficient in spoken and written English.
- The ability to work comfortably in an interdisciplinary environment is a strong plus.

**Application procedure**

**Dit bieden we jou**
- A salary between € 3017 and € 3824 gross per month (salary scale OIO) as a PhD-student, based on full-time employment (36 hours).
- A salary between € 3493 and € 6402 gross per month (salary scale 10 or 11) as a Postdoc, based on full-time employment (36 hours).
- Year-end bonus of 8.3% and holiday allowance of 8%.
- Pension insurance with ABP. We take care of approximately 70% of the monthly contribution.
- 100% public transport reimbursement. Are you coming on foot, by bike or by car? You will then receive a reimbursement of € 0.18 per km (by car up to a max. of 40 km one way).
- Possibilities to develop yourself personally and professionally.
- The option to select additional employment benefits in exchange for gross salary, such as purchasing a bicycle and memberships.
