Stellenbeschreibung

工作描述

To this date, all IBA products and systems are based or use either particle accelerators or particle detectors. Therefore, expertise about nuclear and electromagnetic interactions between particle and matter is key for various purposes. For instance, Monte Carlo simulations are used for:

• Shielding design for low- and medium-energy cyclotrons used for isotope production
• Shielding design for high-energy accelerators used in Particle Therapy
• Optimization of irradiation techniques for industrial applications using electron and X-ray beams
• Development of new cancer treatment modalities using proton, heavy ion, or electron beams
• Support to the development of new detector concepts.

These simulations are sometimes experimentally validated through measurement campaigns, and different simulation packages are used depending on their relevance and the results to be obtained. More recently, IBA has also started to grow its expertise in matter activation resulting from the use of proton and electron beams, in preparation of building and equipment decommissioning and as part of its sustainability program.
 
The presence of in-house experts in the domain is among the assets and differentiators between IBA and its competition. As R&D Physicist, you will be involved in maintaining and developing this very specific expertise. You will learn from IBA’s experience and bring your own skills and motivation to further develop it. This implies developing your own network through collaborations with universities and participation to relevant workshops and conferences.
 
This position implies good communication skills and collaboration with many other teams to capture the problems or questions and how to best answer them. It is also a position that requires a long-term involvement and therefore a bulletproof interest for the domain.

Who are we?

Innovating for life since 1986, IBA has become the global leader in proton therapy, considered as the most advanced and accurate form of radiotherapy in cancer treatments using ionizing rays.
Thanks to the unique properties of protons, tumors can be targeted more accurately while limiting exposure of the surrounding healthy tissues
We provide two types of therapy center: the IBA’s Proteus®PLUS which offer a multi-room solution and the Proteus®ONE who is a more compact single room solution that is easier to install, integrate and operate.
To date, more than 58 world renowned medical institutions have built a Particle Therapy Center with IBA across 3 continents.
 
Sustainability commitment   
  
As a company, we are focused on striking the right balance between our stakeholders: increasing our market share and the return for our shareholders, improving the quality of life of our customers, patients and employees, and contributing to the well-being of our society, while also maintaining and restoring our planet’s health.
 
Our Proton Therapy Solutions are targeted towards the same objective of making a positive impact on patient health by providing health care professionals with the most effective and accurate solutions for diagnosis and treatment.
