A Research Fellow is required to join a research project funded by a prestigious National Institute for Health Research award.
The post is full time for 2.5 years. It is based at the Sutton Branch of The Royal Marsden.
The purpose of the project is to use physics, mathematics and computing methods to describe the complex relationship between the benefits and risks of radiotherapy for common cancers. Understanding the relationship between radiation doses from radiotherapy and the risks of side effects is a growing field of interest. This is a unique opportunity to join a project in this exciting area.
Applicants are sought with strong backgrounds in computing and imaging (PhD or equivalent preferred) who wish to apply these skills for the benefit of patients with cancer. Knowledge of Radiotherapy Physics is desirable but not essential.
