Research Opportunity at DKFZ
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, Germany. The successful candidate will work on a project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to investigate the integration of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and radiation therapy with ions.
Project Overview
The project aims to develop and investigate novel magnet geometries optimized for MR-guided ion therapy based on superconducting magnets constructed with high-temperature superconductors (HTS). The researcher will use magnetostatic simulations with FEM tools (CST, Opera) to design homogenous magnetic fields, investigate coil design, perform magnetic force calculations, calculate power consumption, design magnetic shielding arrangements, and evaluate safety and compliance.
Responsibilities
- Active participation in a multidisciplinary research project
- Closely collaborate with scientific partners at the German Cancer Research Center and the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center (HIT)
- Interact with a commercial magnet vendor
- Simulate magnets optimized for MR-guided radiation therapy with protons and heavier ions (e.g. carbon ions), exploiting the material parameters of HTS to realize more open or single-sided geometries
- Derive specific requirements for the magnet design as well as for materials and material distributions of the coil windings and housing by means of numerical simulations under consideration of material constraints
- Collaborate within a larger team examining optimizations of other MRI subsystems like gradients and radiofrequency hardware
- Publish research findings in high-ranked journals and present at scientific conferences
Requirements
- Completed studies with a diploma or master's degree in physics, medical physics, engineering, mathematics, applied mathematics, or a related discipline
- Experience in MR physics, scientific programming (MATLAB, C/C++, etc.), and electromagnetic simulations is an advantage
- Target-oriented working methods and communication skills in a multidisciplinary work environment
- Reliability, self-initiative, motivation, and ability to work in a team
- Very good knowledge of English, both written and spoken; German is beneficial
We Offer
- Excellent framework conditions: state-of-the-art equipment and opportunities for international networking at the highest level
- Access to international research networks
- Doctoral salary with the usual social benefits
- 30 days of vacation per year
- Flexible working hours
- Possibility of mobile work and part-time work
- Family-friendly working environment
- Sustainable travel to work: subsidized Germany job ticket
- Unleash your full potential: targeted training and mentoring through the DKFZ International PhD Program and DKFZ Career Service
- Our Corporate Health Management Program offers a holistic approach to your well-being
