Job description

We are seeking an early-stage researcher for a European Industrial Doctorates programme in advanced brain imaging using MRI. The project is a collaboration between the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging at Radboud University Nijmegen (Netherlands) and Siemens Medical Solutions based in Erlangen (Germany). Additional training will also be provided by the Rotterdam School of Management. The goal is to provide high-level modern training for physical scientists wishing to pursue a career in industry or academia. You will divide your time equally between Nijmegen and Erlangen, spending the first year of the project in Nijmegen. You will thus experience both an academic and a commercial environment. The project will use novel brain imaging techniques to make exhaustive examination possible within a fraction of the time needed only a few years ago. You will develop acquisition and analysis tools in Nijmegen and translate them into prototype applications in Erlangen. These will enable an analysis not only of brain anatomy, but also of brain connectivity. In the final stage of the project the tools developed will be utilised in a cohort of healthy volunteers to obtain normative values of brain anatomy and connectivity as functions of age and gender. The project offers an integrated training programme in MR-physics, neuroimaging and commercial and business skills, and will offer the researchers a broad range of career choices upon graduation.

Requirements

- a background in physical sciences, mathematics or engineering;
- an excellent academic trackrecord with a completed Master’s degree at the start of the project;
- a high degree of motivation and the ability to work independently;
- good communication skills, including both verbal and written English;
- the ability to work well in a team;
- an interest in the commercial application of advanced medical imaging techniques;
- prior knowledge of MR physics and the C++ programming language would be advantageous;
- to conform with EU regulations you may not have resided in the Netherlands for more than 12 months in the last three years.

Conditions of employment

- you will be classified as PhD student (promovendus) in the Dutch university job-ranking system (UFO).
- the starting salary is €2,083 per month on a full-time basis; the salary will increase to €2,542 per month in the third year;
This vacancy was originally published in October/November 2013. Applicants who were rejected at the time are kindly requested not to apply again.
Contract type: Temporary, 3 years

Job description

The Rijksmuseum’s model ship and scale-model collection is one of the most prominent maritime collections in the world. The heart of the collection consists of technical scale models constructed during the 19th century by order of the Ministry of the Navy. Such models were tools in the process of designing and constructing new naval vessels. These models were initially kept in the Marinemodellenkamer (Naval Models Room) in The Hague. This collection was soon expanded to include unique model ships from the 17th and 18th centuries, technical tools, weapons and captured standards. With the reopening of the Rijksmuseum, a significant part of this collection is once again on show to the general public, for the first time in almost a century. Over the past thirty years, intensive efforts have been made to fully treat and describe the approximately 1600 objects that make up this collection. In 2014, this work will culminate in the publication of a catalogue of the entire collection.

Job description

Project: Breast cancer screening – from one-size-fits-all to a personalized risk-based approach
In virtually all population-based breast cancer screening programmes, the only risk factor – even though the strongest – used to define the target population is age. This ‘one-size-fits-all’ screening approach does not take advantage of the growing ability to predict individual variation in screening benefits and harms and to translate that information into better screening outcomes. In our project, we will model the impact of adapting breast cancer screening policy to a woman’s individual risk by collecting all relevant data on risk factors and obtaining a blood sample from the participants. In addition, we will make an inventory on communication, medico-legal and ethical considerations related to personalized risk-based screening and present a synthesis at an interdisciplinary expert meeting, along with results of the project, in order to discuss implications and recommendations for current vs. personalized risk-based screening policies. This project thus represents an essential first step towards the future, where more individualized approaches to screening are likely to become the new screening paradigm.
The PhD student on this project will collect information on risk factors and biomarkers in a screening cohort, develop a tailor-made risk prediction model and, subsequently, model the impact of adapting breast cancer screening policy to populations at varying levels of risk. In addition, the PhD student will be involved in the assessment of communication, medico-legal and ethical considerations related to personalized risk-based screening. The results will be reported in scientific publications (resulting in a PhD thesis) and presented at (inter)national conferences.

Research setting:
The PRISMA study (Personalized RISk-based Mammascreening) is part of the research group on Cancer Epidemiology at the Department for Health Evidence. The PRISMA study will be performed in collaboration with a consortium of (inter)national partners.

Requirements

  • A Master’s degree in epidemiology, biomedical sciences or health sciences
  • A keen interest in and experience with modelling
  • A curious, enterprising and creative mind and excellent analytical skills
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a capacity to produce results
  • Excellent English proficiency in oral and written communication
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team

Conditions of employment

  • Scale 10A: max € 38600 gross per year at full employment (incl. vacation bonus and end of year payments)
Contract type: Temporary, Contract for one year, with possible extension to a maximum of four years

Organisation

Médecins sans Frontières (MSF)
The overall purpose of Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) is to preserve life and alleviate suffering, while protecting human dignity and seeking to restore the ability of people to make their own decisions. MSF accomplishes this through the provision of medical aid and a personal commitment to act as witness to events surrounding populations in danger. This work is essentially performed in periods of crisis, when a situation is no longer held in balance and the very survival of a population may be threatened. The underlying basis for realising MSF’s objectives is respect for medical ethics, humanitarian principles, human rights and international humanitarian law.

Department

Public Health Department (PHD)
The Health Advisor reports for all operational/medical activities to the Coordinator of Health Advisors. The respective Operations Manager will lead the cell and ensure day to day functioning of the cell. This will require close collaboration with the Coordinator of Health Advisors to ensure operational and departmental commitments are balanced.
In the Operations Centre Amsterdam (OCA) MSF-Holland, Germany and UK share ownership and responsibility for Operations in the field. This has resulted in programme portfolios managed by Operations Managers (OM) run out of Amsterdam (3-4 portfolios) and Berlin (1 portfolio), plus a medical unit (Manson Unit) in London. Each portfolio of countries is supported by a team of advisors (the cell) - including the Health Advisor- led by the Operations Manager.
The Public Health Department (PHD) of the OCA supports the overall purpose of MSF, providing medical and public health leadership for the organisation. The department is responsible for providing strategic direction and integrated advice on medical and public health issues to the field and headquarters (operational managers). The PHD plays a key role in developing and maintaining the medical humanitarian identity and image of MSF-OCA, and in continuing to develop and improve intervention strategies so as to be relevant and effective. The Health Advisor plays a critical role in this, translating medical and public health strategies into field operations. The department is made up of a group of generalist Health Advisors (based in Amsterdam and Germany working directly with operations managers and the field), and medical and public health specialists (nutrition, water and sanitation, mental health, Access campaign etc) so as to provide expert support in a range of fields.
