Announcement of Job Opportunity for the Researchers

Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences

Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences (KIRAMS) has been conducting the project of developing a heavy-ion medical accelerator since 2010, with the funding from Korea Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning (MSIP), Busan city, Gijang county and KIRAMS.

Development includes design and construction of core components such as main accelerator, beam line, beam irradiation system and the supporting power supply and control system. Major treatment system will be purchased and installed by a vendor with some fabrication by the project teams for experienced treatment components.

Korea Heavy-ion Therapy Center is currently under construction to meet opening in 2017 and the accelerator and treatment system will be installed by the end of 2016, followed by beam commissioning and licensing medical equipment. The Korea Heavy-ion Medical Accelerator (KHIMA) project is seeking experienced researchers in the area of accelerator development and radiation treatment system. Application from the laboratory and hospital abroad of related area will be appreciated.
