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

Job Summary

This PhD position at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) offers a unique opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research in dual-tracer Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The successful candidate will focus on developing, implementing, and evaluating advanced image reconstruction algorithms to enable simultaneous dual-tracer imaging on clinical PET scanners. Day-to-day responsibilities include working with GATE-based Monte Carlo simulations, coding in a C++-based reconstruction framework, and validating methods using clinical phantom data. You will collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams, including physicists, clinicians, and researchers, to translate these methods into clinical applications. The role is ideal for a motivated researcher with a strong background in medical physics, computer science, or engineering who is eager to contribute to the future of cancer diagnostics. The position provides a supportive, international research environment with structured PhD training, competitive public sector compensation, and opportunities for professional development within a world-class scientific institution.
