We are seeking a postdoc fellow in translational proton therapy research at our new, state-of-the art preclinical proton therapy facility at Oslo University Hospital. The project aims to develop a novel strategy for proton therapy, combining metabolic drugs with proton irradiation to improve treatment outcomes of patients with prostate cancer. A central objective is to establish a robust preclinical pipeline for proton-drug combination therapies, integrating medical imaging and digital histopathology, with a goal for future clinical translation.

Work will be carried out in a cross-disciplinary team spanning radiation biology, physics, oncology, radiology, and pathology, with close links to our clinical collaborators at the hospital. The position is available for 3 years, with the possibility of extension.
