We stand for an open and inclusive hospital with focus on patient needs. Through our skillful employees we are among the best in Europe; professionally and for training and research.  

The Department of Oncology covers medical and radiation oncology and has more than 500 employees led by Prof Ulrik Lassen and head nurse Mette Misfelt.  

Role Description 

This is a full-time on-site role for a Medical Physicist in Copenhagen. The role involves various day-to-day tasks related to medical physics and supporting the hospital's healthcare services. 

Your key role will be in the daily clinical service at our institution, joining the team of physicists to provide patient care at the highest level of precision and safety. To this end you will be expected to also be part of a close and constructive interdisciplinary collaboration. Research and development are integral parts of the clinical service at our institution, so you will be expected to collaborate with the research teams. For example, in the introduction of innovative technologies and supporting clinical trials.  

It is an advantage if you have experience in MR and MR guided radiotherapy and a desire to join our team on the MR accelerator and/or the brachytherapy team. 

 We offer a permanent position if you are a qualified medical physicist with certification from the national board of health (SIS) or equivalent.
