France’s leading cancer research and treatment centre, Institut Curie unites a renowned research centre and a specialist hospital, fostering close collaboration between scientists, clinicians and healthcare professionals. It offers an environment of excellence where expertise comes together around shared values: care, humanity, openness, collaboration, efficiency, innovation, solidarity and commitment. Job description . Laboratory . The ATOMIC team “Advanced Therapy in radiation Oncology and Molecular Imaging Characterization” (CNRS UMR9029/Inserm U1353/Université Versailles Saint-Quentin) develops new strategies to increase the therapeutic index of radiotherapy. The team brings together biologists, medical physicists and radiation oncologists. FLASH radiotherapy, discovered at Institut Curie ( Favaudon et al., Science Translational Medicine, 2014 ), delivers the dose in a fraction of a second. It reduces toxicity to healthy tissue while maintaining anti-tumour efficacy comparable to that of conventional radiotherapy: this is known as the “FLASH effect”. As part of the FRATHEA institutional project , Institut Curie is developing a new FLASH irradiator using very high-energy electrons (VHEE), designed to reach deep-seated tumours. You will conduct the preclinical studies needed to validate this equipment, working closely with t
