Mission
The position is available within the Experimental Radiotherapy Platform, led by Frédéric Pouzoulet.
The mission of the Experimental Radiotherapy Platform is to provide users with various types of ionizing radiation sources for treating both cells and animals.
This position is open as part of new activities in microPET/CT imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is a non-invasive functional imaging technique requiring the injection of a positron-emitting radioactive tracer. The installed equipment is coupled with a CT scanner for anatomical imaging.
The development of these activities will be carried out in collaboration with the Laboratory of Translational Imaging in Oncology, led by Irène Buvat.
In this context, the main duties of the engineer will include:
