The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a research opportunity in the DCEG/Radiation Epidemiology Branch. The participant will be involved in two major projects on medical radiation dosimetry. First, he/she will conduct normal tissue dose calculations for proton therapy patients using Monte Carlo simulations of proton therapy procedures to support the US pediatric proton patient study. The participant will be involved in dosimetry for patients treated by both conventional passive scattering and modern pencil beam scanning modalities.
Additionally, the participant will be involved in patient-specific nuclear medicine dosimetry, which will contribute to establishing a new epidemiological study of second cancers in thyroid cancer patients. He/she will work directly with the collaborators at the University of California San Francisco to extract pediatric thyroid cancer patient data from the hospital electronic database and to estimate normal tissue doses by using Monte Carlo simulations combined with patient-specific SPECT/CT images.
Participant Benefits
The participant will receive a competitive monthly stipend for living and other expenses, as determined by the NIH. Stipends are typically based on academic level, discipline, and experience. You may also be eligible to receive a health insurance allowance, reimbursement of travel/training, and/or a relocation allowance, determined on a case-by-case basis.
