**Full- or part-time | temporary (24 months) | Klinik und Poliklinik für RadioOnkologie und Strahlentherapie**

The Department of Radiation Oncology at TUM University hospital is recruiting a **highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher** to join our **Radiation Biology Research Group**.

Our research focuses on translating **novel radiotherapy concepts from experimental models toward clinical application**, with a particular emphasis on **spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT)**. We aim to understand the biological mechanisms underlying tumor response and normal-tissue tolerance and to establish the preclinical evidence required for future clinical trials.

The position offers the opportunity to work at the interface of **radiobiology, radiation oncology, and medical physics** within an interdisciplinary translational research environment.

**Your responsibilities:**

- Irradiation and dosimetry of mouse cohorts using MBRT and conventional radiation, across single- vs. multi-fraction regimens
- Longitudinal neurobehavioral testing 
- Histological and immunohistochemical analysis of neuroinflammation, vascular, and structural brain changes
- Neurotransmitter profiling and biomarker analysis 
- Statistical and integrative analysis of dose-response and biomarker data to define normal-brain tolerance thresholds
- Close collaboration with scientists and clinicians from radiation oncology, medical physics, and radiobiology, and translation of findings into clinically relevant concepts for future MBRT trials

**Your profile:**

- We are looking for a highly motivated scientist with a strong interest in experimental and translational radiation oncology and radiobiology 
- A doctoral degree in biology, biomedical sciences, veterinary medicine, or a related field is required 
- Experience with preclinical in vivo models and animal experimentation is desirable 
- Expertise in tumor cell culture, histology, immunohistochemistry, or molecular biology would be an advantage 
- A background in radiation biology and radiation-induced normal-tissue effects would be advantageous 
- The ability to independently plan, conduct, analyze, and document experimental studies is expected 
- A strong interest in interdisciplinary and translational research at the interface of radiation oncology, medical physics, and biology is essential 
- Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively in an interdisciplinary research environment are required 
- Flexibility and mobility to make full use of the scientific opportunities and research infrastructure available across TUM sites (TUM University Hospital Rechts der Isar and the Garching Research Campus) 
- Good written and spoken English skills are essential 

**We offer you:**

- EGYM well pass, corporate benefits and discounts (e.g. Käfer), cafeteria, sports and cultural offers
- Working in the heart of Munich at Max-Weber-Platz with very good accessibility by public transport such as the subway, S-Bahn or tram 
- Company pension plan through the Federal and State Pension Institute (VBL) 
- Self-realization through a varied and technically demanding job with interdisciplinary cooperation between various departments of the TUM Klinikum

**We look forward to meeting you!**
