Faculty of Medicine
Deadline:
27 May 2025
Starting date:
at the earliest opportunity
The Department of Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital Bonn covers the entire spectrum of modern nuclear medicine in clinical research and teaching. The department is equipped with two modern SPECT/CTs, a SPECT camera, a thyroid camera and a digital PET/CT device. All standard nuclear medicine treatments are provided on the treatment ward. Within research, Nuclear Medicine is part of the Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation and has close links to the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). There is a successful radiochemistry working group in the development of new radiopharmaceuticals, in theranostics and immunological imaging, which this professorship will supplement with modeling methods.
As part of the advertised professorship, work should also be carried out on the development and testing of new nuclear medicine tracers in preclinical and clinical applications with a focus on tracer kinetic modeling, including using AI-supported methods. The professorship should be actively involved in the Core Facility for Small Animal Imaging, which is currently being established. The development of an independent research focus and acquisition of third-party funding will be supported. Experience in modeling in the field of immunological or neuroscientific radiopharmaceuticals, demonstrated through publications and the acquisition of competitive third-party funding, is required.
The professorship is not associated with a clinical role. Involvement in teaching on courses within the Faculty of Medicine in German or English is required. The successful candidate must have completed a university degree in natural science or medicine and have a habilitation or evidence of equivalent academic achievements. Experience in teaching in accordance with section 36 of the Higher Education Act of North Rhine-Westphalia (Hochschulgesetz NRW) is preferable.
Diversity and equal opportunity
The University of Bonn is committed to diversity and equal opportunity. It is certified as a family-friendly university.
