Stillingstittel:
PhD Research Fellowship in Medical Physics and Biophysics

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

A position as PhD Research fellow in Medical Physics and Biophysics is available at The Department of Medical Physics, Oslo University Hospital. Proton therapy is a radiotherapy modality that potentially can reduce side effects compared to X-ray treatment and increase the likelihood of cure. Together with, among others, collaborators at the Department of Physics, University of Oslo, we are working on exploiting the physical properties of protons in cancer treatment. The candidate will be part of a project investigating the role of proton irradiation to induce an immunogenic response in cultured cells. The PhD research work will include proton dosimetry and optimization of proton irradiation set-up as well as development of cellular assays for evaluating response to irradiation. The candidate will work in a highly translational field together with a team consisting of physicists, biologists and clinicians. The purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree in Physics. The fellowship requires admission to the PhD programme at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo. Selected candidates are expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.
