Do you wish to join an exciting multidisciplinary research project in photopharmacology and make a transformative difference in healthcare? Then, join the team of Prof. Dr. Ir. Charalampos Tsoumpas, Dr. Peter Dendooven and Prof. Wiktor Szymanski who are members of a recently awarded research program (total amount over €18M) generously funded by the Ubbo Emmius Fonds led by the Health Technology Research and Innovation Cluster to work together for resolving major challenges in the field of healthcare.
Responsibilities- You will play a key role in executing a highly innovative research activity in the field of photopharmacology and contribute significantly to the supervision of several bachelor, and master students.
- You will work on the development of novel approaches to translate, make more efficient and optimise photopharmacology by using external radiation (e.g. X-rays) and nanoscintillators.
- Your work is expected to lead to conference presentations, peer-reviewed journal articles, open-source software, international patent applications and eventually clinical products.
- Furthermore, you will receive mentorship and support to attract research funding to build your own research team on this topic.
- You should be a creative and passionate researcher with a PhD degree in Physics, Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering, or similar preferably with up to two years post-doctorate experience.
- Relevant research experience will be an asset.
- Excellent communication skills (in English) and an innovative mindset are essential.
- Excellent knowledge of Monte Carlo simulations using Geant4 is a big advantage and strong programming skills for efficient data processing (e.g. Python or Matlab) will be very useful.
- Ability to perform experiments will be considered a plus.
