Which project do we offer
We will soon start a new project, IRRADION, co-funded by the EU, where we will develop a novel radiation research platform for preclinical cancer studies with small animals. The platform will use small robots to perform CT imaging and proton tomography. The system will be able to irradiate with precise photon beams and can be docked to a clinical proton beam for irradiation with protons. The final result will be a unique prototype system that will revolutionize radiation research in oncology and other fields. The project is in collaboration with the University of Maastricht and Czech company Radalytica1, where most of the robotics work will take place. The position we are offering will focus on development of software for dose calculation for proton irradiation, and for proton imaging.

We focus on preclinical research but are also active in other fields. Our company is based on the Maastricht Brightlands Campus, and we work in collaboration with Maastricht University in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
