[Gate-users] Postdoctoral Training Fellow – Detectors for Spectral X-Ray Imaging

[Dimitra Darambara]

Dear All,


A vacancy for a Postdoctoral Position exists in Multimodality Molecular Imaging Team, Department of Physics, Division of Imaging and Radiotherapy at Institute of Cancer Research, Chelsea, London, UK.



The STFC funded post will focus on high-flux multi-spectral x-ray imaging with energy-sensitive CdZnTe semiconductor detectors. Methods to be used in this project include complex computer simulations using a combination of state-of-the-art Monte Carlo codes (GEANT4/GATE), Finite Element Analysis software (COMSOL) and semiconductor device simulation tools (TCAD) as well as novel photon-counting multi-threshold CdZnTe detectors and a proof-of-concept multi-spectral x-ray imaging system.



This post is a collaborative venture between the MMI team at ICR/RMH, the Detector Development Group at University of Glasgow and Kromek Ltd.

Kromek is the sole UK manufacturer of CdTe/CdZnTe materials and detectors using a proprietary innovative technology, which leads to a highly homogeneous material and is also a world leader in multi-spectral x-ray imaging technology.



The candidate should hold a PhD in Physics and have in-depth knowledge in detector physics and readout electronics. Familiarity with Medical Physics would be an advantage.



For a job description and person specification please see attachment.



To apply please email your CV and covering letter (addressing where you meet the person specification and incl. the names and addresses of two referees), to: recruitment at icr.ac.uk, quoting job reference number B455.


Closing date: 17th June 2011

Thanks,
Dimitra
