Job description

Clouds and water vapour are very important elements of the climate system. The development of diverse remote sensing instrumentation and measurement methods to retrieve a complete view of the profile of atmospheric properties has met with considerable success. The state of the art in ground-based remote sensing is, however, still limited in its ability to quantify (or even handle) the presence of drizzle, an important element of the process determining cloud lifetime and not well taken into account in climate models.
In this project we will develop a multi-sensor optimal estimation-based framework for estimating profiles of cloud optical and microphysical properties, including the quantification of drizzle. The method will be developed and tested using a combination of simulators and real cloud data from the CESAR/Cabauw multi-instrument measurement site. In addition, satellite data will be used in the evaluation of the cloud property output of the algorithm.

Requirements

Applicants must have a PhD in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Meteorology, or another appropriate field. Prior experience in the fields of atmospheric remote sensing and/or data assimilation is desirable. The candidate must be able to verbally communicate and write in English at an appropriate level.

Conditions of employment

TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home (with a contract of two years or longer), and the option of assembling a customised compensation and benefits package (the 'IKA').

Job description

The Radiation Science and Technology department at the Technical University of Delft (TUD) has a post-doctoral position available for research into 3D fluorescent imaging of the energy deposited by particle beams (e.g. protons, carbon ions) used in the radiotherapeutic treatment of cancer. The project is part of the Holland Particle Therapy Center (HollandPTC) R&D initiative in which the Erasmus Medical Centre (Rotterdam) (www.erasmusmc.nl) and the Leiden University Medical Centre (www.lumc.nl) have joined forces with the TUD (www.tudelft.nl). The mission of the consortium is to found the first proton therapy treatment centre in the Netherlands with top-of-the-line facilities in an academic, clinical environment ensuring at all times up-to-date, high-quality and safe treatment procedures.

The research will involve the development of techniques for providing 3D, tomographic images of the energy deposited by complex fields of high-energy radiation; e.g. spot-scanning proton pencil beams. The primary method will be based on a radio-fluorogenic gel (RFG) that yields a fixed, in space and time, fluorescence that is proportional to the local radiation dose. This must be combined with optical-emission computed tomography (OECT) methods with specifically designed apparatus and read-out algorithms. The project will have four interactive research tracks: 1) Optimisation of the RFG gel preparation procedures with an eye to routine application by non-scientific staff; 2) Quantitative characterisation and calibration of gel recipes, including measurements of the dose and dose rate deposition.

Requirements

Required qualifications are a PhD in physical chemistry or chemical physics-related subject. Experience with optical imaging techniques and radiation dosimetry is an advantage. Researchers are expected to be proactive in setting up and maintaining cooperation with several research groups within and beyond the HollandPTC consortium; therefore, an open attitude and good social and communication skills are a must.

Conditions of employment

TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home (with a contract of two years or longer), and the option of assembling a customised compensation and benefits package. Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. Delft University of Technology strives to increase the number of women in higher academic positions; women are therefore especially encouraged to apply.

Department

Applied Sciences

The Department of Radiation, Radionuclides and Reactors is situated in the Reactor Institute Delft (RID). The department's common focus is nuclear radiation and reactions. Although its areas of interest are varied, including materials, sensors and instrumentation, energy, sustainable production and health, all research is related to radiation in some way. In experimental research, extensive use is made of the research facilities of the Reactor Institute Delft as well as of large, international research facilities.
The main areas of research of the Radiation and Isotopes for Health (RIH) section are the innovation and optimisation of the use of radiation and radioisotopes in the health sciences. The section Radiation and Isotopes for Health is one of the Department’s sections, and focuses on innovative production routes for radionuclides for use in medical diagnostics and radiation therapy, the use of radionuclides in studies of the behavior, distribution (e.g., targeting) and unanticipated effects of elements, radionuclides and their compounds and the development of radiation dosimeters.
