About the Project
We are recruiting two postdoctoral research fellows for the project ProSoft Enhancing proton therapy for soft tissue sarcomas. The project aims to develop a new spatially fractionated proton therapy (SFPT) strategy integrated with advanced MRI to improve treatment outcomes for patients with inoperable soft tissue sarcoma. Work will be carried out in a cross-disciplinary team spanning radiation biology oncology radiology and physics.
Both positions focus on pre-clinical experimental studies with close links to upcoming clinical sarcoma trials at Oslo University Hospital.
Oslo University Hospital is a workplace with great diversity. We believe this is crucial for solving our tasks in the best possible way. We want this diversity to be reflected among the applicants for our positions and we encourage all qualified candidates regardless of background to apply!
