Postdoc – Artificial Intelligence and Robust Optimization in Radiotherapy

Scope of duties

In a multi-institutional research project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, a Postdoc position investigating the use of uncertainty-aware AI models for auto-segmentation and dose accumulation in radiotherapy treatment planning is open at the Department of Radiation Oncology of the LMU Munich University Hospital (PD Christopher Kurz & Prof. Guillaume Landry) from February 2026. The candidate will collaborate with our project partners at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics (ITWM) Kaiserslautern (Prof. Karl-Heinz Küfer) and the LMU Bavarian AI Chair for Mathematical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence (Prof. Gitta Kutyniok).

The project will employ state-of-the-art AI models for auto-segmentation and deformable image registration in the scope of MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy. Focus will be set on uncertainty estimation by these models and their integration into robust radiotherapy tre...
