'W2-Professorship for Experimental Medical Physics'

​

Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Germany are hiring! A professorship for Experimental Medical Physics , closely aligned with EuPRAXIA’s mission to advance laser–plasma–accelerator–based particle and radiation sources for medical applications has become available. 

​

Job description:

We are seeking a candidate with a strong background in experimental medical physics or biophysics with relevance to medicine, who has an internationally recognized track record in the investigation of biological matter, particularly its interaction with electromagnetic radiation or the development and application of novel radiation sources based on laser-plasma technology for medical physics.

​

The focus should be on fundamental research, and a willingness to collaborate with research groups from both the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine is expected.

Outstanding publications in internationally recognized scientific journals, as well as a proven track record in securing competitive third-party funding, are required. Participation in teaching within the Medical Physics degree program is expected. Relevant teaching experience in experimental medical physics or experimental biophysics or experimental physics is required. 

Active participation in at least one of the planned coordinated programs is expected. Through research in the following areas, the applicant would strengthen the planned initiatives:

• Development of laser-plasma radiation sources for medical physics;

• Influence of light fields on inter- and intracellular processes.

 

A participation in other coordinated programs of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is desirable

 

Deadline for applications: 15.10.2025
