PhD Researcher in Medical Physics and Image Reconstruction | PhD Student (f/m/d) to work on the Development and Evaluation of Image Reconstruction Methods for Si

Job Summary

This doctoral position focuses on the development and evaluation of innovative image reconstruction methods for simultaneous clinical dual-tracer PET imaging. Working at the Institute of Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research, the successful candidate will develop advanced algorithms to separate two simultaneously acquired radiotracers into distinct images from a single PET scan. Day-to-day tasks involve implementing these algorithms within a modular C++-based reconstruction framework, conducting GATE-based Monte Carlo simulations, and validating methods on clinical PET phantom data using a new total-body PET scanner. Candidates must hold a Master’s degree in Physics, Medical Engineering, or Computer Science and possess strong object-oriented programming skills. This role offers a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between methodological development and clinical application within a vibrant, international research community. The position is part-time (19.5 hours/week) for 36 months and includes a structured PhD program with extensive networking and professional development opportunities in Dresden.
