Medical Radiation Physics with a focus on Radiobiology

Stockholm University is offering a PhD position in Medical Radiation Physics with a focus on Radiobiology. The project centers on developing predictive models to assess, predict, and reduce radiotherapy-induced lymphopenia, a condition linked to decreased survival in cancer patients. The research aims to improve treatment planning by minimizing radiation-induced lymphopenia and enhancing post-treatment outcomes. The position is based at the Department of Physics, AlbaNova University Center, which hosts several research groups in physics and related fields. Applicants should have a strong background in physics or medical radiation physics, with relevant second-cycle coursework and degree projects. Proficiency in English is required, and selection will be based on academic merit, research capacity, and collaborative skills. The position is a full-time, fixed-term employment for four years, with a fixed salary and potential for limited teaching or administrative duties. Interested candidates should apply via the university's recruitment system, ensuring all required documents are submitted before the deadline of October 3, 2025. Supervisors for the project are Prof. Iuliana Livia Dasu and Prof. Michael Odelius. For more information, applicants can contact the supervisors directly. The university promotes equal opportunities and a discrimination-free workplace.
