The right stuff
To be a suitable candidate for this position we think you have a degree in physics, radiation physics, medical physics, or closely related discipline. A PhD in a relevant field and/or several years of clinical experience is meriting. Experience in applied radiation physics, including dosimetry and measurements on ionizing radiation, either in a research, industrial or clinical environment is desirable. You have experience working with scientific programming, preferably in Matlab. Furthermore, it’s a plus if you are able to contribute in one or several of the following areas: Monte Carlo simulations and other physics modelling techniques, MR physics or X-ray imaging. You have an excellent command of English, both written and spoken.
What you’ll bring with you
Besides living our value, you have a can-do attitude with a natural ability to solve complex problems and you have a natural ability to communicate this to stakeholders and customers.
