Job description:

GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates one of the leading particle accelerators for science.

Currently, the new FAIR (
Facility for
Antiproton and
Ion
Research) one of the world's largest research projects, will be built in international cooperation.

GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work together in this international environment with a team of employees committed to ensure each day to conduct world-class science.

The Biophysics department is an interdisciplinary collaboration of biologists, physicists, chemists, biochemists and technicians.

The multidisciplinary research in our group covers a wide range of topics from radiobiology, radiation physics and space research to radiation therapy.

The Medical Physics Group within the Biophysics department deals with advanced treatment planning and delivery research for ion beam therapy.

In particular, the group investigates precision therapy for mobile tumors in organs of the thorax and abdomen, but also for non-cancer diseases such as cardiac arrhythmia.

The developed strategies are experimentally validated in Cave M and in collaboration with clinical partners.

Early Stage Researcher in the "Medical Physics Group" (all genders)

Posting ID:

starting from 1st of June 2024 or soon thereafter.

Within the ERC consolidator grant PROMISE, a novel image-guidance strategy for ion beam therapy will be developed.

In a mixed ion beam, carbon ions will deliver the therapeutic dose, while simultaneously helium ions pass through the target and can be used to monitor the treatment beam.

We are looking for an excellent, dedicated person with a Master degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering or comparable.

Experience in the field of Medical Physics, Particle Physics, Particle Imaging or Detector Design is advantageous, as well as experience in Monte Carlo simulations of ion beams.

The specific tasks include:

Development of a system to detect Helium beam range over the Carbon fragment background
Characterization of the mixed Helium-Carbon ion beam
Planning and execution of experimental campaigns to validate scientific results
Publication and presentation of the results in manuscripts and on conferences.

Our offer:

Working in an innovative, interdisciplinary and excellently equipped research group that is world leading in several fields of research.

The contract is limited for three years.

Salary is equivalent to that for public employees as specified in the collective agreement for public employees (TVöD Bund).

Severely Handicapped persons will be preferentially considered when equally qualified.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation._

Company:

The Helmholtz Association contributes to solving major challenges to assure the future of our society.

With more than 39,000 people on staff in 18 national research centres, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organization.

The name Helmholtz stands for concerted research in which networks form the key principle behind inquiring thought and action. Concerted research is efficient and flexible.

The profile of the Helmholtz Association
The Helmholtz Association performs cutting-edge research which contributes substantially to solving the grand challenges of science, society and industry.

To succeed in meeting these responsibilities, Helmholtz concentrates its work in six research fields:
Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Matter, as well as Aeronautics, Space and Transport. Within each of these fields, research programs are developed by our scientists and regularly evaluated by renowned international experts. Their evaluation forms the basis for the programme-oriented funding that is allocated to Helmholtz research.

Within the six research fields, Helmholtz scientists cooperate with each other and with external partners - working across disciplinary, organizational and national borders.
