Your tasks

We are offering a fully funded 3 years PhD position within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network - UPLIFT, focusing on upright radiotherapy (RT)—a transformative approach to radiation treatment. This position (DC17) will investigate how anatomical and dosimetric differences between upright and conventional supine treatment positions impact radiotherapy planning and clinical implementation. Your main tasks will be:

  • Acquire and analyze upright and supine imaging data (MR/CT) across multiple anatomical sites (head & neck, thorax, upper and lower abdomen).
  • Develop tools and quantify anatomical variations and organ motion linked to posture
  • Define robust proton/photon planning criteria and margin recipes via systematic dosimetric comparisons
  • Generate an open, curated dataset to support clinical research and AI algorithm development

You can find the overview of the UPLIFT consortium here

Your profile

  • Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related fields
  • Strong interest in radiotherapy, image analysis, and translational research
  • Proven experience in medical image analysis (image registration/segmentation, 4D motion modeling) and deep learning frameworks development is highly preferred
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in an interdisciplinary team
You will be matriculated at the ETH Zurich.

You must not have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Switzerland for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the recruitment date.

We offer

Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration. You will profit from a systematic training on the job, in addition to personal development possibilities and our pronounced vocational training culture. If you wish to optimally combine work and family life or other personal interests, we are able to support you with our modern employment conditions and the on-site infrastructure.
