Are you looking for a PhD position combining radiation physics, artificial intelligence, and cutting-edge medical technology? Join our doctoral research project at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK CEN<\/a>) in Mol, Belgium, together with University of Antwerp<\/a> (InViLab.UAntwerp<\/a> and UAntwerpen – CORE<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Project focus:
Develop and advance a next-generation intelligent safety system for radiotherapy that uses high-speed scintillation imaging and predictive AI to monitor radiation beams in real time \u2014 moving beyond traditional \u201ccheck-after\u201d approaches toward predicting and preventing errors during treatment delivery. This interdisciplinary research involves experimental physics, advanced AI modelling, fast imaging systems, and close collaboration with medical physicists and clinicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re looking for highly motivated candidates with a background in:
– Medical physics
– Physics
– Engineering (or closely related disciplines)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Required qualification: Master (or equivalent) in sciences or engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important dates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Application deadline: 31 March 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Interview notifications: ~4 May 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Oral presentations: ~21\u201322 May 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Final decision: ~15 June 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Start date: ~1 October 2026 (standard start)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 How to apply:
\u2022 Prepare your academic CV, motivation letter and supporting documents.
\u2022 Before applying online, it is compulsory to first contact the SCK CEN mentor (me at ldfnasci@sckcceb.be<\/a>) for further information.
\u2022 Apply online via the SCK CEN website (see link below).
\u2022 Upload all required files before the deadline \u2014 incomplete applications will not be considered.
\u2022 Strong preference is given to candidates with distinction in their final Master year.
\u2022 Two reference letters are required (can be sent by referees directly to academy@sckcen.be<\/a> and ldfnasci@sckcen.be<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
