Working in a multi-disciplinary team, you will help develop and validate new CCD-oriented position-sensitive radiation detectors for new-generation SPECT systems for small animals. Your responsibilities will include interaction localization, optical cou-pling and cooling techniques. The project encompasses experimental research for vali-dating the detectors. Your work will be culminate with a doctorate.

University Graduate
You have a university degree in (applied) physics, electrical engineering or a similar study program. Preferably, you also have experience in programming, experimental research, radiation physics and electronics. Furthermore, you are driven, result focused, an excellent communicator and you possess analytical and experimental skills. Are you a postdoc? We would also like to hear from you.

University Medical Center Utrecht

The Physics of Molecular Imaging and Nuclear Medicine working group of the Image Science Institute (www.isi.uu.nl) develops algorithms and hardware for obtaining ultra-high-resolution images of molecular distribution using SPECT equipment such as a re-cently developed system for small animals (U-SPECT). This is expected to play a major role in research into tissue functions and the development of new pharmaceutical treat-ments of conditions such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, cancer and cardiovascular problems. The teams is made up of an associate professor, three post-docs, four trainee research assistants (physicists and scientific programmers) and three engineers.

Additional conditions of employment:
This full-time position is in the salary scale for trainee research assistants and is for four years.
