About this position

PhD opportunity in quantitative multi-tracer Total-Body PET imaging at University Hospital Tübingen, within the Total-Body PET Physics Group led by Dr Fabian Schmidt. The project is part of the PREFERENCE MSCA Doctoral Network and focuses on building the next generation of multi-tracer PET methods using the clinical Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra and long-axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET/CT.

Research topics include low-dose same-session multi-tracer acquisition strategies, tracer separation, kinetic modelling, model-based corrections, AI-assisted denoising, image registration, and CT-free attenuation correction. The work also involves Monte Carlo simulations and clinical Total-Body PET datasets, with applications to oncological radiotracers targeting metabolism, receptor expression, and immune pathways.

Eligibility highlights: a Master's degree in physics, medical physics, biomedical engineering, computer science, medical image computing, AI, or a related field; strong analytical and programming skills; very good English; and willingness to participate in international secondments. Experience with PET or medical imaging data, reconstruction, kinetic modelling, machine learning, or image registration is an advantage. MSCA mobility rules apply.

Funding: 3-year full-time employment contract with full social security, plus a gross living allowance of €4,050/month, mobility allowance of €710/month, and family allowance of €660/month if applicable. Training includes supervision, career development, network-wide training, and secondments at King’s College London, Université Bretagne Occidentale, and DKFZ.

How to apply: send a single PDF with motivation letter, Europass CV, Master's certificates, two referees, and mobility information to Dr Fabian Schmidt at [email protected]. Deadline: 31 October 2026. Start date: as soon as possible, no later than 31 March 2027.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
