The University of Göteborg uses a wide range of expertise to address societal issues. With 6,600 staff members and 56 000 students, the university is a sizable and stimulating environment to work and learn. Researchers and students from throughout the world are drawn to this university by its strong research and appealing academic options. The university makes a positive impact on a better future by bringing fresh insights and knowledge to bear. Most branches of radiation physics, including dosimetry, detectors and measurement methods, radiobiology, and radiation protection, as well as applications in radioecology, radiation protection readiness, nuclear medicine (diagnostics and therapy), MRIs, X-rays, and radiation therapy (external and brachytherapy), are all areas of research in the field of medical radiation sciences. In a research group that specialises in alpha-particle emitting radionuclides for molecularly targeted cancer radiation therapy, the postdoctoral fellow will work actively. The multidisciplinary team comprises oncologists, radiochemists, and physicists. Three PhD students are now enrolled in the group: two in radiochemistry and one in physics. Preclinical and clinical research are combined in this work, which has resulted in a phase I clinical trial that is now complete on the use of astatine-211 as an alpha emitter for the treatment of metastatic ovarian cancer. A new initiative was launched recently with the goal of creating innovative therapies for kids with neuroblastoma that has spread.
 Subject area: 
Medical Radiation Sciences. Subject area description. Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine/Dosimetry 
Duties:
 The task will involve the practical effort necessary to conduct both in vitro and in vivo experimental research, as well as the design and analysis of experiments. The work will also involve numerical computations using programmes like MATLAB and theoretical analysis. Personal qualities appropriate for sensitive, hands-on practical work, such as growing tumour cell lines, analysing cell proliferation, studying cell binding, measuring radioactivity, cutting tissue, staining it histologically, and working with pre-clinical experimental models, will be needed for this job. The tests and research will be carried out in close collaboration with the supervisors. The research group will provide the postdoctoral fellow with practical and logistical support, but they must also be able to work independently. 
Eligibility: 
A doctorate, a doctorate in art, or a foreign degree regarded to be comparable to a doctorate is required for the applicant to be eligible for employment as a postdoc. The hiring decision cannot be made unless this eligibility criteria is satisfied. Those who have finished their degree no more than three years before the application deadline will be given priority consideration. If unusual circumstances arise, applicants who finished their degrees more than three years before the application deadline may also be given priority consideration. Special grounds include sick leave, parental leave, commissions of trust in union organisations, service in the armed forces, or comparable situations, in addition to clinical service or service/assignment pertinent to the subject matter.
 Assessment criteria: 
A PhD in biology, physics, or medical radiation sciences is required of the applicant. It is acknowledged that the applicant is fluent in written and spoken scientific English communication, as well as general English communication abilities.
 Prior knowledge with bio-experimental techniques, pre-clinical trials, actual laboratory work with radioactive materials, and radiation dosage calculations is especially valuable. 
High levels of independence, accuracy, and self-motivation are necessary for the work.
 The candidate must have the ability to operate both individually and collaboratively. Personal attributes like initiative, cooperation, and devotion are very important.
 Employment:
 The position is located in the medical radiation sciences division of the Institute of Clinical Sciences and is limited (temporary) to 24 months at 100% full-time. Date of start: As soon as feasible
