A postdoc position is available within drug delivery and cancer biology in relation to research in new biomaterials for use in cancer radiotherapy. The project is part of a collaboration between the Technical University of Denmark, Copenhagen University and Rigshospitalet. The purpose of the project is to develop new nanoparticle based contrast agents as well as drug delivery systems for potentiating radiotherapy.<\/p>\n

The position is part of the\u00a0Center for Nanomedicine and Theranostics<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Colloids and Biological Interface group<\/a>\u00a0at the Department of Micro and Nanotechnology.<\/p>\n

2 PhD positions are also available for the project (PhD scholarship in Biomaterial Synthesis and Engineering with focus on Development of New Drug Delivery Systems<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0PhD scholarship in Cancer Cell Biology with focus on Development of New Drug Delivery Systems<\/a><\/em>).<\/p>\n

Qualifications
\n<\/strong>The project is focused on cancer radiotherapy and imaging with focus on novel drug delivery systems of chemotherapeutics in combination with radiotherapy. It is a necessity that the candidate has substantial experience in working with radioisotopes and with handling relatively large radiation doses. The candidate also needs to have substantial experience in animal handling. The successful candidate should preferably have a veterinarian and\/or cancer cell biology background.<\/p>\n

The applicants should hold a PhD degree in the relevant mentioned areas.\u00a0All applicants should have a strong interest in working experimentally in a cross-disciplinary environment and have very good collaboration skills.
