The medical physics research group (physmed.fsg.ulaval.ca) and the Biomaterials for Medical Imaging research group (www .bim.fsg.ulaval.ca) at Université Laval (http://www.ulaval.ca) are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to work with supervisors Luc Beaulieu and Marc-André Fortin on a cutting edge project recently financed by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. The project brings together clinicians, biomaterial scientists and medical physics experts.
Required qualifications:
The sucessful applicant will be based at CHU de Québec - Université Laval, one of the major research hospitals in Canada. Our institution is a pionner in the field brachytherapy as well as development of 103Pd-loaded gold nanoparticules. This position is part of a larger project that combines this expertise with the recent acquisition of state-of-the-art 3D printing research infrastructure allowing to develop 3D printed 103Pd-loaded eye plaques. The technology would be adapted to each patient and be specific to tumour geometry. The candidate will be working with this multidisciplinary team in the design, simulation and experimental validation of a novel approach to occular cancer brachytherapy treatments, with a special focus on Monte Carlo modeling and high precision dosimetry.
Screening of applicant will begin immediately, until a suitable applicant is found. Base salary (excluding benefits*) will be 40 000 CAO$.**
Application should be sent to beaulieu@phy.ulaval.ca in a single PDF document and should include:
Screening of applicants will begin immediately and will continue until a suitable applicant is found. Université Laval adheres to the Tri-Council Granting Agency Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDD statements.
*This position is initially for 1 year (renewal possible).
** Postdoctoral fellows funded by research projects are unionized and covered by a collective agreement. Benefits equivalent to approximately 20% of the salary paid must be added to the budget, as well as an annual 2% salary increase at the end of March each year.
