PhD Student Position in Microwave Hyperthermia Cancer Treatment

2 weeks ago


Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers tekniska högskola Full time
Project Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research group at Chalmers tekniska högskola, focusing on the development of microwave hyperthermia systems for cancer treatment. The successful candidate will work in a dynamic and international research environment, collaborating with experts in biomedical engineering, antenna systems, and signal processing.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop electromagnetic models using commercial software tools (e.g. CST, Comsol) to improve the antenna system and its mechanical design.
  • Design and develop the water bolus and its cooling system.
  • Implement a feedback control system for the amplifier system in direct connection to the antenna system.
  • Perform measurements and calibration of the antenna systems.
About the Project

The project aims to develop a multi-channel hyperthermia system for focused heat delivery into deep-seated tumors. Hyperthermia is applied in combination with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy to improve clinical outcomes. Our research group has made significant progress in developing microwave hyperthermia systems, and we are now seeking a PhD student to contribute to the next stage of this project.

About the Department

The Department of Electrical Engineering at Chalmers tekniska högskola is a leading research institution in biomedical engineering, antenna systems, signal processing, and communication systems. We offer a dynamic and international research environment with a strong focus on collaboration and innovation.

Requirements

To be eligible for this position, you should have a Master's degree in a relevant field and a strong background in biomedical engineering, antenna systems, or signal processing. Excellent communication and teamwork skills are essential for this role.
