The ideal candidate will have research experience in one or more of the following areas: computer programming languages, radiotherapy care (including contouring, inverse planning, image registration, or QA), and/or a PhD in biomedical engineering or a related field. We are seeking individuals who demonstrate strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a passion for advancing research in these areas. Candidates with a combination of technical expertise and a collaborative mindset will be well-suited for this role.
A research scientist position focusing on MR-guided adaptive radiation therapy is open in the Department of Radiation Physics, Division of Radiation Oncology. The research project will implement advanced image reconstruction methods and evaluate feasibility for offline and online adaptive treatment planning and radiotherapy delivery. This work will be developed in the context of a larger initiative aimed at exploring the use of quantitative and functional imaging to improve radiation therapy care and outcomes. The Division of Radiation Oncology houses multiple state-of-the-art MRI scanners, linear accelerators, and a hybrid MR-Linac. Our team is looking for a highly-motivated member interested in joining a collaborative group of scientists and physicians.
