The position is based at Radboudumc within the department of Medical Imaging and embedded in the Advanced X-ray Tomographic Imaging (AXTI) laboratory.

AXTI focuses on the development, optimization, and clinical evaluation of new x-ray-based imaging methods. The lab focuses on the use of medical physics approaches to improve image acquisition methods and processing algorithms, and to evaluate the clinical performance of new technology in new clinical applications. The group counts with wide-ranging expertise in image acquisition and processing, reconstruction, and analysis, as well as observer studies, screening, radiation dosimetry, along with the design and performance of patient trials.

You will work in a well-equipped research environment with access to advanced CT technology and close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, including pulmonologists, internists, pathologists, thoracic surgeons, and anatomists.

The project also involves hands-on work at the CT scanner, in collaboration with specialized radiographers and CT technologists involved in photon-counting CT development.

We are looking for a motivated and curious researcher who is eager to explore the clinical potential of cutting-edge CT technology. You enjoy working at the interface of technology and clinical practice and are capable of independently driving feasibility studies while collaborating within a multidisciplinary team. You are proactive, communicative, and able to translate technical findings into clinically meaningful insights.

Requirements:

• MSc degree in biomedical sciences, technical medicine, biomedical engineering, medical physics, physics, or a related field.
• Affinity with radiology, medical imaging, and clinical research.
• Interest in CT imaging and emerging technologies such as photon-counting CT.
• Experience with data analysis and programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB, or similar).
• Experience with image analysis and/or AI methods is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently as well as in a multidisciplinary team.
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
• Communication skills in Dutch, both written and spoken, are required.

• This position requires a Certificate of Conduct (VOG).
