<html> <body> Dear Gaters, May I bring the following vacancy for 3 PhD positions in The Netherlands to your attention. Please feel free to contact me for more information. With kind regards, Dennis Schaart Wanted: three enthusiastic and creative PhD students Company/Institution: <x-tab>   </x-tab>Delft University of technology / University of Groningen (KVI) Country: <x-tab>       </x-tab>Netherlands <x-tab>    </x-tab> Position: <x-tab>      </x-tab>PhD Position <x-tab>   </x-tab>   Positron emission tomography (PET) is fast becoming a key medical imaging technique. The SciSiLiA project (novel Scintillators with Silicon Light sensor Arrays for next generation PET detectors), is a new joint venture between Philips, Delft University of Technology, the University of Groningen and the VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam. It aims to achieve a breakthrough in PET technology by combining innovative detector crystals with new light sensors, and by pushing the limits of time-of-fl ight resolution. These enhancements will result in much faster scans and unmatched spatial resolution. This in turn could open up new PET applications, such as brain imaging, cancer screening, and radiation therapy planning. In the framework of the SciSiLiA project, we are looking for:   Three enthusiastic and creative PhD students (38 hours a week) The maximum monthly salary will be EURO 2.472,-   These postgraduate students will need to familiarise themselves with the relevant areas of physics and technology. In addition to being involved in the design of equipment, they will play a leading part in designing, performing, analysing, and interpreting experiments. The successful candidates will also be required to participate actively in international scientific conferences. Two of these postgraduate students will be based at the Faculty of Applied Sciences of Delft University of Technology, while the other will be located at the Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut (KVI) of the University of Groningen. Do you have an MSc degree in Physics or Applied Physics? Are you interested in innovative technology? If so, then we’d like you to consider applying for these vacant posts, so that you can help us shape the future of medical imaging.
