With cutting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH and MATTER, around 1,500 employees from more than 70 nations at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are committed to mastering the great challenges facing society today.
At the Institute of Radiooncology – OncoRay scientists (f/m/d) specializing in medicine, physics, biology and IT work together to crucially improve the treatment of cancer by administering radiation therapy that is biologically-personalized and technically-optimized.
The Department of Medical Radiation Physics is looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) Compensation strategies for advanced proton beam treatment planning in MR magnetic fields.

• Development of scientific results in the field of MR-integrated proton therapy in the research group ‘Experimental MR-integrated proton therapy’ (Prof. Dr. Aswin Hoffmann), especially on the topic ‘Compensation strategies for advanced proton beam treatment planning in MR magnetic fields’ as a basis for the preparation of the dissertation
• Literature research
• Development of methods to optimise the proton dose distribution in the presence of magnetic fields from our in-beam magnetic resonance (MR) imaging prototypes
• Planning, implementation and evaluation of computer simulations
• Publication and presentation of scientific results
