Researcher in Dosimetry for Radionuclide Therapy

Job description

As Researcher you are an expert in dosimetry for radionuclide therapy. You will work at the intersection of research, innovation, and clinical practice. You develop and apply advanced dosimetric models to further optimize radionuclide treatments. In addition, you contribute scientifically to a better understanding and application of dosimetry in radionuclide therapy. This position has become available following the retirement of our Researcher who is specialist in radionuclide therapy dosimetry.

Your responsibilities include:

• Developing and applying advanced dosimetric models for clinical and translational studies in radionuclide therapy.
• Performing dosimetric analyses using methods such as Monte Carlo simulations, curve fitting, and statistical modeling.
• Setting up and validating dosimetry in clinical practice, including phantom measurements and validation of dosimetry software.
• Supporting and performing patient-specific dosimetry in radionuclide therapy in collaboration with nuclear medicine physicians, clinical physicists, and technical physicians.
• Contributing to the implementation and optimization of radionuclide therapies in clinical trials and routine patient care.
• Supervising PhD candidates and (co-)supervising junior researchers.
• Initiating and contributing to national and international grant applications.
• Contributing to teaching for bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD programs, as well as continuing education for researchers and medical staff.

Work environment

You will work in the Department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine within an academic hospital environment, where clinical care, research, and education are closely integrated. The department is among the leading European institutions in the field of radionuclide therapy and is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as a LAFOV PET/CT and a CZT ring SPECT.

Within this dynamic environment, you will collaborate with researchers, physicians, medical physicists, technical physicians, and PhD candidates. In addition, you will be closely involved in the radiobiological research group of Dr. Nonnekens, with the aim of linking dosimetry to biological effects.

Qualifications and skills

• A completed degree in (Clinical) Physics, Medical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.
• A completed PhD, preferably in the field of radionuclide therapy, radiation therapy, or dosimetry.
• Experience with imaging techniques such as PET and SPECT and dosimetric modeling (e.g., MIRD, GEANT4).
• Programming skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB, or R).
• Ambition to (eventually) establish your own line of research and play a leading role in the national and international agenda for dosimetry in radionuclide therapy.

Are you a (soon-to-be) registered medical clinical physicist with a sub specialization in Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, or Radiotherapy? We warmly invite you to apply as well.

Before you apply please check our conditions for employment.

Terms of employment

• A one-year contract with the possibility of a permanent position.
• The gross monthly salary between € 3.598 ,- en € 8.747,-  (scale 10 up to scale 14) based on a full-time workweek of 36 hours. Depending on your relevant experience and knowledge.
• A salary increase of 3,5% from July 2026, according to the collective labor agreement (CLA)
• Partial working from home is possible, as is working 4 x 9 hours.
• Excellent fringe benefits, such as a 13th month that is already paid out in November and a individual travel expense package.
• An International Office which aids you in preparing for your arrival and stay.
• Pension insurance with ABP. We take care of approximately 2/3 of the monthly contribution.
• Special benefits, such as an incompany physiotherapist and bicycle repairer. And there is also a gym where you can work on your fitness after work.
