BPRC is looking per direct for a Imaging / Nuclear Medicine Specialist who is keen to strengthen our tuberculosis research team.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the number one killer of infectious diseases. Worldwide, a person dies of TB about every 20 seconds and antibiotic resistance poses a growing global health challenge also in TB. The interaction between the pathogen and the host is complex, and many aspects underlying disease susceptibility and protective host defence remain elusive still. A better understanding of disease dynamics and immune mechanisms is key to the development of improved therapies.
As a professional specialist, focussing on imaging and nuclear medicine, you will be responsible primarily for our PET/CT-based research efforts. You will work internally with a multi-disciplinary team of lab scientists, immunologists and veterinary specialists, in our TB research programme. For the dissemination and innovation of our research you will communicate with external experts. Where opportunities occur, we encourage to explore other scientific areas that are within the scope of BPRC's research plan and that allow to refine our experiments by non-invasive imaging approaches.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates that either have an academic research background with proven affinity for the present subject or are specifically trained in operations and QA/QC assessments in the area of imaging/nuclear medicine. You will strengthen our multi-disciplinary team with the following appealing achievements and characteristics:
What do we offer?
Attractive working conditions in an open and informal culture of diverse and highly qualified professionals.
BPRC is an independent science research institute dedicated to contribute to developing new therapies for life threatening diseases in man and to finding alternatives for animal testing where possible. On our website you can find details of our current research programmes, our focus areas and our methodology.
