The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is one of the world’s most influential cancer research institutes, with an outstanding record of achievement dating back more than 100 years. We provided the first convincing evidence that DNA damage is the basic cause of cancer, laying the foundation for the now universally accepted idea that cancer is a genetic disease. Today, The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) leads the world at isolating cancer-related genes and discovering new targeted drugs for personalised cancer treatment.
Under the leadership of our Chief Executive, Professor Paul Workman FRS, the ICR is ranked as the UK’s leading academic research centre. Together with our partner The Royal Marsden, we are rated in the top four cancer centres globally.
The ICR is committed to attracting, developing and retaining the best minds in the world to join us in our mission – to make the discoveries that defeat cancer.
Vacancy Description
A vacancy exists in the Radiotherapy Physics Modelling Research group of The Joint Department of Physics for a Postdoctoral Training Fellow to perform research on the development and validation of automated MRI-based treatment planning.
We are seeking an accomplished and driven enthusiastic physicist/engineer or computer scientist with a strong background in computational methods and software development. You will be part of a CRUK funded Accelerator network grant ‘ARTNET’. This network of five leading RT centres in the UK (The Christie, UCL, Oxford, Leeds, ICR/The Royal Marsden Hospital) will support the acceleration of implementing advanced treatment technologies and protocols into clinical practice.
You must hold a PhD degree in physical, mathematical or computer sciences, and have demonstrable experience of programming scientific software as well as experience of image processing.
The Joint Department of Physics at ICR/RMH focuses on the application of physics and engineering to cancer research ranging from fundamental research to the support of patient treatments. We operate a core hour system between 10am and 3pm for general open meetings.
We consider all applications on merit and have a strong commitment to enhancing the diversity of our staff.
