# Team leader Research and Development in Medical Physics assistant professor
#### Afdeling
Radiotherapie
#### Werkomgeving
The University Medical Center Groningen is one of the largest university hospitals and the first center in the Netherlands with an integrated state-of-the-art photon and proton radiation oncology department. Currently, radiotherapy treatments are provided for over 4,500 patients annually in the Department of Radiation Oncology.
Our vision is to provide the best possible care for the benefit of our patients. Development and availability of the most advanced treatment techniques and procedures is an integral part of this vision.
Within the Department of Radiation Oncology the section of Medical Physics and Instrumentation (approx. 70 colleagues) is responsible for innovation and quality control of treatment (planning) methods and technologies. The Medical Physics and Instrumentation section includes (computational) medical physicists and residents, AI experts, medical physics assistants, IT engineers, LINAC engineers, PhD students and postdoctoral fellows. The Department offers a full spectrum of state-of-the-art treatment techniques for adaptive and image-guided treatment. The recently introduced state-of-the-art MR-LINAC provides the opportunity to also explore and advance BgRT.
#### Functiebeschrijving
If you want to seize the chance to lead a Research and Development team in Radiotherapy Medical Physics, to advance large-scale innovation projects such as biology-guided radiotherapy, to develop, manage and supervise scientific research projects as assistant professor and to grow towards an academic Talent Track, this position offers you a unique opportunity.
The University Medical Center Groningen, Department of Radiotherapy, seeks to appoint a Team Leader Research & Development in Radiotherapy Medical Physics. The Team Leader will advance large-scale innovation projects including biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT). The Team Leader will initiate, coordinate and manage as a project manager these projects, functionally manage the involved medical physicists and hierarchical lead PhD students, research fellows, graduates and project employees. The deployment of the medical physicists and other employees involved in the projects is done in close coordination with the medical physics team leaders. The Team Leader R&D focuses on the implementation of new technology, bridging the gap between the current state of the technology and the clinical needs specific to the UMCG environment as a state-of-the-art clinic. In addition, the Team Leader will work with the medical team leaders and the PARTREC team leader to support and ensure the safe and timely translation of research results to the clinic under the direction of the head of medical physics.
The colleague that we are looking for will have many opportunities on key responsibilities:
\- lead and contribute to innovative research in biology-guided radiotherapy;
\- drive the development and clinical translation of novel MRI biomarkers to personalize radiotherapy treatments;
\- collaborate with and lead multidisciplinary teams, including clinicians, medical physicists and radiobiologists, to advance the role of BgRT in clinical radiotherapy practice;
\- secure research funding and contribute to high-impact publications in peer-reviewed journals;
\- mentor junior researchers, PhD students, physicists, and fellows within the department;
\- participate in academic activities and represent the department in national and international collaborations and initiatives;
\- build a new group and (co-)determine the course of research in BgRT for the department.
#### Wat vragen wij
\- Completed PhD research in medical physics or a related field.
\- Trained and (internationally) registered as a medical physicist.
\- Knowledge and experience in the field of medical physics.
\- Affinity with BgRT.
\- Experience in scientific project management is highly desirable.
\- Skills in managing and supervising a (partly international) team of (partly) changing composition of clinical physicists, researchers, PhD students, graduates and (seconded, industrial) project staff.
\- Excellent communication skills (preferably English and Dutch) and a collaborative mindset in multidisciplinary academic environments.
\- Skills in obtaining grants / acquiring funds for development assignments.
\- Skills in drafting scientific publications in leading journals and delivering scientific lectures.
\- Commitment to teaching, mentoring, and contributing to the academic mission of the department.
#### Wat bieden wij
