Job Opportunities
Radiation Oncologist Physician in Peoria, Illinois
********************************************************
For more information see here!
*******************************************************
The position is based in Grenoble, at the CNRS Laboratory of Subatomic Physics and Cosmology (LPSC). We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to investigate the use of PGTI reconstruction for TOF based proton imaging. The candidate will conceive and implement dedicated Monte Carlo simulations to study the image quality (spatial resolution, SNR…) achievable with this technique and the dose delivered to the patient in different scenarios. Starting from simplified geometries the study will progressively include all parameters that will have an impact on the experimental application, including the simulation of realistic patient anatomies based on digital phantoms and patient’s CT images. Following the simulation results, the successful candidate will propose practical experiments that can be reproduced at a protontherapy facility to validate the feasibility of the technique. This position mainly involves MC simulation, image reconstruction and data analysis tasks but, depending on the candidate profile and interests, she/he may directly participate to the experimental campaigns at CAL.
Project description, activities and candidate profile can be found here. To apply, please send CV, an application letter and at least one reference to

Mission of the PTCOG Society
The Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group (PTCOG), founded in 1985, is a non-profit worldwide organization of scientists and professionals interested in proton, light ion and heavy charged particle radiotherapy.
The mission of PTCOG is to promote science, technology and practical clinical application of particle therapy, with the ultimate goal of improving treatment of cancer to the highest possible standards in radiation therapy.
To serve and accomplish its objectives, PTCOG encourages improved and continuing education and promotes global activities in the field of particle radiation therapy. It supports the organization of dedicated international conferences, including scientific meetings and educational sessions.
PTCOG Statutes
The Statutes of the Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group have been adopted in May 2007. An updated version of the Statutes was elaborated in 2015, 2016 and 2024 by Members of PTCOG and by the Executive Committee and the last version was updated and approved in the Steering Committee Meeting of the PTCOG 62 Conference, June 14, 2024, in Singapore.
