Stockholm University is looking for a PhD student in Medical Radiation Physic

The Department of Physics is located in the AlbaNova University Center and has approximately 240 employees, 250 students at undergraduate level and 95 graduate students. There are four research subjects within the postgraduate program: Physics, Theoretical Physics, Chemical Physics and Medical Radiation Physics. These subjects span over several research groups with different research activities. For information about the Department of Physics, see: www.fysik.su.se/english.

The project aims at developing a personalized radiotherapy strategy with focus on imaging-based methods to optimise and/or adapt radiation treatment plans targeting areas more likely to develop recurrence, such as the more radioresistant regions that can be identified and characterized with the use of functional imaging.

More information about the position can be found at: https://www.su.se/english/about-the-university/work-at-su/available-jobs?rmpage=job&rmjob=19036&rmlang=UK

Do not hesitate to contact Associate Professor Marta Lazzeroni, marta.lazzeroni@fysik.su.se, or Professor Michael Odelius, studierektorfu@fysik.su.se. you have any questions.

Welcome to the next SAINT workshop to be held on August 25-26!

Finally, we plan for an onsite meeting, it will take place in Stockholm at Stockholm University (Svante Arrhenius väg 20A) from lunch time on Thursday 25 August to lunch time on Friday 26 August. SAINT members at all levels, i.e. PhD students, postdocs, researchers, PIs, are welcome. In particular we invite PhD students and postdocs to give oral or poster presentations, according to the structure originally planned for the February meeting which had to be postponed. We plan for a common dinner for members on Thursday 25th.

The workshop presentations are open for everyone. Find the full program including the registration link here: https://saint.nu/event/saint-workshop-in-stockholm-25-26-august/

Prior to the SAINT workshop, a separate event will be arranged in Stockholm by SWE-RAYS (SWEDISH RADIATION RESEARCH ASSOCIATION FOR YOUNG SCIENTISTS).

If you have any questions regarding the event do not hesitate to contact SAINT Coordinator Martin Andersson.

Introduktion till kärnkraft 5 hp – Sommarkurs på distans 2022

En sommarkurs ”Introduktion till kärnkraft” arrangeras av Uppsala Universitet under 2022.

Elenergi är ett nyckelord för framtiden. Eldrivna fordon, kolfri stålproduktion och mycket annat gör att elanvändningen förväntas öka kraftfullt i framtiden. Alla energikällor som kan producera elenergi miljövänligt, med små utsläpp av växthusgaser kommer att behövas. Kärnkraft är en av dessa energikällor och i sommarkursen Introduktion till kärnkraft tar vi ett helhetsgrepp på processen. Hur fungerar ett kärnkraftverk? Varför behöver man uran och hur kan kärnklyvningar ge upphov till elenergi? Vad är joniserande strålning och hur skyddar man sig mot det? Hur farligt är egentligen avfallet? Frågorna är många och vi ger svaren. Detaljerad information om kursens innehåll och förkunskapskrav finns i kursplanen!

Sommarkursen som ges på distans vänder sig till dig som redan är student eller som är yrkesarbetande och vill fortbilda dig eller kanske funderar på att söka arbete inom kärnkraftbranchen. Introduktion till kärnkraft är en fristående kurs, men fungerar även som en prova på-kurs inför det ettåriga Högskoleingenjörsprogrammet i kärnkraftteknik som ges vid Uppsala universitet. Kursen kan efter godkänt resultat tillgodoräknas inom detta program. Antagning till Introduktion till kärnkraft utgör dock inte en antagning till Högskoleingenjörsprogrammet utan detta måste sökas separat.

SAINT Workshop 8th February 2022

Welcome to join the SAINT’s workshop in the afternoon of Tuesday, 8 February, from 13.00-17:00 [CET].

The aim of the workshop is to give information on work areas related to SAINT, to all SAINT members, at all levels and with all backgrounds. One representative from each research group will give a 15 min educational lecture, with a “bird’s-eye view” of their field as well as basic concepts and terminology and the current challenges in the field.

The workshop is open for everyone. Find the full program including the registration link here: https://saint.nu/event/saint-workshop-8th-february-2022/

Remote connection information will be sent to registered participants after registration closure. Registration will close at 13 am on 2022-02-07. Registration form follows after the agenda.

SAINT Workshop 2021-06-16 & 17

Welcome to join SAINT’s workshop in the mornings of June 16-17. The workshop is open for everyone with an interest in funding of research and education within the field of radiation sciences. The aim of this workshop is to have a focused discussion on issues relevant to university funding. Five funding agencies will participate to give presentations and discuss, please find the full program including the registration link here: https://saint.nu/event/workshop-june-2021/

The time point of the workshop is also planned to be able to provide further input to the ongoing work performed by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) on a strategy to keep the competence within the field, which is based this earlier report.

Please register before June 15 at 3 pm to receive the Zoom link. You are welcome to forward this e-mail to colleagues. The meeting will be held in English.

Welcome!
