Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e.

V. is seeking highly motivated individuals to join our team of 1,500 employees from over 70 nations at one of our six research sites.

Our cutting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH, and MATTER aims to solve pressing societal and industrial challenges.

At the Institute of Radiooncology - OncoRay, we are looking for scientists (f/m/d) with expertise in medicine, physics, biology, and IT to work together in improving cancer treatment through biologically-personalized and technically-optimized radiation therapy.

Similarly, at the Institute of Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research, we are seeking scientists (f/m/d) from various fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, immunology, medicine, and IT to develop innovative radiopharmaceuticals and tools for functional characterization, improved imaging, and personalized treatment of tumors.

We are currently looking for a PhD student (f/m/d) to work on the topic of Harmonized PET imaging for outcome prediction in cancer treatment, shared between the Department of Translational Radiooncology and the Department of Positron Emission Tomography.

Working field:

The project aims to predict the response of patients with head and neck cancer to radiochemotherapy using FDG-PET imaging in two ways: (i) using quantitative PET parameters based on pharmacokinetic analysis and a novel tumor shape metric, and (ii
