Part time senior research position at Rigshospitalet
A position as senior researcher in radiotherapy as a part time and temporary assignment with special focus on radiation oncology is available at Rigshospitalet. The position is funded by external grant commitments of fixed amount.
The radiotherapy section of the Department of Oncology performs approximately 50,000 fractions of radiotherapy annually to approximately 4,000 patients. We use state-of-the-art equipment including TrueBeam, Ethos and Halcyon units by Varian in addition to a ViewRay MR-linac. The unit also has 2 CT scanners from Siemens and a 3 Tesla Vida MR scanner plus brachytherapy suites.
The Department of Oncology hosts about 18 PhD students, many of whom have radiotherapy-focused research. You will be collaborating with this group and many research active clinical scientists from postdoctoral to full professor level to maximize the impact of the clinical/research efforts in the hospital. We collaborate closely with other leading departments in Rigshospitalet, including the neighboring Department of Nuclear Medicine, but also several surgical departments, radiology, genetics etc. The access to high level expertise across a broad range of medical disciplines is a particular strength of the hospital system in which the department is embedded.
Furthermore, we have a strong data science portfolio and a close collaboration and strong track record for joint funding with Dept. of Computer Science at Copenhagen University.
Qualifications
The successful candidate should be an established contributor to the international research community within radiation oncology with prospects of lifting our department’s contribution to the national and international research community and increase the value of our offering to patients.
Experience in hard evidence generation through clinical trials is an advantage. A mindset to focus on value driven research and development is requested due to a demand driven need to continuously improve the clinical value of our services within limited resources.
Finally, the successful candidate should have demonstrated the ability to evaluate and attract peer-reviewed research grants.
Roles and responsibilities
The candidate should be able to enter a role as mentor of early and mid-career scientist and be able to participate in critical appraisal of the department’s research portfolio and strategy at the highest level.
The candidate is expected to participate in the departmental funding efforts and provide critical appraisal of grant proposals by peers and early career researchers.
The candidate should enter and participate in efforts to improve data driven improvements of our clinical offerings including evidence generating study designs and use of routine data collected to generate evidence and guide future developments.
Salary terms and employment
The terms of appointment salary and pension will be settled in accordance with the existing agreement between the Danish Regions (Danske Regioner) and the relevant professional organization of the candidate. The funding is fixed from external grants and the length of employment, salary and weekly hours will need to respect the total budget. We expect for example a 24 month appointment at 20% effort is possible.
