Postdoctoral Position in Physics

Description of the workplace

At the Department of Medical Radiation Physics, both education and research are conducted across the various fields of medical radiation physics (www.msf.lu.se/). The research group in Nuclear Medicine Physics (www.msf.lu.se/en/research/nuclear-medicine-group) has a particular focus on quantitative imaging and dosimetry for nuclear medicine therapies.

Subject and project description

The research group has extensive experience in developing methods for image-based quantification of activity and dosimetry in radionuclide therapies, with work in recent years largely focused on 177Lu-labelled radiopharmaceuticals. The long-term objective is to enable dosimetry-guided treatments tailored to the individual patient.

Your tasks

You will primarily devote yourself to your doctoral education, which mainly consists of participation in coursework and writing a doctoral thesis. You will develop and validate methods to extract motion information from SPECT examinations and to compensate for these effects during tomographic reconstruction.
