Cancer is a major social problem, and it is the main cause of death between the ages 45-65 years. Radio therapy plays an essential role in the treatment of cancer.

Cancer treatment with proton and light ion beams offers several advantages over photons (traditionally x-rays) for specific cancer types. The Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) is the aim of a new European training network. OMA joins universities, research centres and clinical facilities with industry partners to address the challenges in treatment facility design and optimization, numerical simulations for the development of advanced treatment schemes, and in beam imaging and treatment monitoring.

Each researcher will benefit from a wide ranging training programme that will take advantage of both local and network-wide activities. Excellent salaries will be offered. Most positions are for starting on 1st October 2016.
