The Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position. Our research focuses on developing advanced computational toolkits for radiation biology and medical physics applications in radiotherapy. Our group’s research topics include, but are not limited to:
- Developing advanced computational toolkits for radiation biology simulation, including microdosimetry/nanodosimetry.
- Developing and implementing fast Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations for treatment machines and biological media
- Developing and applying deep learning techniques in radiotherapy.
- Exploring multiscale modeling and digital twin applications in radiotherapy.
The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will join a dynamic team of medical physicists and clinicians, participating in unique opportunities to develop and apply advanced computational tools for scientific discovery and to make a direct impact on patient care in a clinical setting.
Responsibilities:
- Conduct research and develop simulation tools to quantify radiation-induced biological effects, such as DNA damage, cellular and multicellular responses, and tissue responses after irradiation using multiplatform simulation toolkits. Develop simulation programs incorporating fast Monte Carlo dose calculation engines, and Geant4/Geant4-DNA simulations.
- Write, debug, and maintain high-quality research code, and assist in deploying research results (where applicable) in a clinical environment.
- Present research at scientific conferences and publish high-quality papers.
The successful candidate will be offered:
· Comprehensive training in radiation transport simulation, especially computational radiation biology and medical physics, to build and optimize multiscale computational toolkits for radiotherapy.
· Opportunities to work on some intrinsic challenges in applying multiscale simulation in medical domain, including digital twins.
· Strong collaboration with researchers and clinicians from diverse fields across different departments/institutions in University of Nebraska Medical Center and collaborating institutes.
· Competitive salary, excellent health plan and multiple other benefits.
· Visa support for qualified international candidate.
Interested applicants should email a cover letter outlining their research interests, a current CV, and the contact information of three references to Ruirui Liu, PhD (ruliu@unmc.edu).
- A Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Physics, Medical Physics, Radiological Science, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or other quantitative science-related fields.
- Proficient programming skills in languages such as C++, Python, or MATLAB; expertise in Monte Carlo simulation development, either through self-developed generic simulation code or open-source platforms like Geant4, is highly preferred.
- Background in machine learning, medical imaging processing, and optimization, ideally with demonstrated experience in deep learning applied to medical image analysis (e.g., image segmentation/registration/synthesis), computer-aided cancer detection/diagnosis, and radiomics, is highly preferred.
- At least one first-author research publication in a relevant subject.
- Strong communication skills and excellent scientific writing ability.
- Highly motivated and independent.
- Ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary settings.
About University of Nebraska Medical Center
At UNMC, we are proud of a rich, vibrant history that dates to the end of the 19th century. Since being founded in 1869 by the Nebraska Legislature, our academic medical center has grown to meet the needs of our future health professionals. UNMC has expanded to include state-of-the-art sites in Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney, Scottsbluff and Norfolk, Nebraska. Each of our campus sites is its own community, connected to a greater community. UNMC’s divisions across the state are bonded through a shared culture – and in real time, by distance-learning technology. UNMC and its hospital partner, Nebraska Medicine, have an annual impact of $5.9 billion. Enrollment at UNMC has seen record setting enrollment increases for 22 straight years. External funding for research, education and public service set a record in fiscal year 2022 with $251.9 million.
