Workplace: Otwock - Świerk (Poland) - in the outskirts of Warsaw with daily transport services provided

Key responsibilities: 

• Development of new dosimetry methods and systems for boron-neutron capture therapy (BNCT) based on active methods of radiation detection (e.g. ionometry, calorimetry) or passive detection methods: TLD, OSL, EPR or chemical methods (colorimetry).
• Development of the experiments and dosimetry methods for reactor and accelerator based BNCT sources, analysis of measurement results
• Participation in workgroup meetings, trainings and scientific conferences 
• Publishing the results in scientific journals

Requirements:

• Completed university degree in the field of medical physics, nuclear physics or nuclear chemistry; technical profile: physics, chemistry, mechatronics, electronics, mechanics, a Ph.D. degree would be an asset
• At least 3 years of experience in the field consistent with the profile of the Institute's activity
• Documented research and technical achievements 
• For medical physicists: knowledge of ionizing radiation detection methods based on analog and digital equipment as well as knowledge of dosimetry methods and mixed radiation detectors, experience with microdosimetry methods will be appreciated
• For a chemist position: experience with passive dosimetry driven with retrospective dosimetry methods 
• Ability to analyse data with high-level programming language (e.g. Python, R, ROOT)
• Good communication skills, verbal and written English allowing for easy communication
