Join us in shaping the new Medical School OWL at Bielefeld University:
Future-oriented, interprofessional and strong in research and teaching

The Medical School OWL at Bielefeld University intends to fill a

Professorship for Specialized Radiation Therapy Techniques for High-Precision Tumor Treatment (W2)

in the Department of Radiation Therapy and Radio-Oncology at the Campus Klinikum Bielefeld as soon as possible. The professorship involves assuming management responsibility in the position of senior physician.

The Medical School OWL and the University Medical Center OWL (UMC OWL), with Klinikum Bielefeld, Evangelisches Klinikum Bethel (EvKB), and Klinikum Lippe, are an innovative medical location under development. We are seeking individuals who embrace this development process as an opportunity to actively create and shape research, teaching, patient care, and organization in collaboration with us. You will be significantly involved in implementing our model study program in human medicine and can contribute innovative ideas for teaching. Our career and research support programs, aimed at interdisciplinary cooperation, provide a wide range of development opportunities.

Qualifications required for the position include:

• specialist qualification for Radiation Therapy 
• relevant doctorate and additional scientific achievements according to § 36 paras. 1; no. 4 HG NRW,
• excellent scientific achievements demonstrated through publications
• experience in project management and successful acquisition of third-party funding
• broad clinical experience in the field and leadership experience
• compatibility with the research profile of the Medical School OWL,
• extensive expertise in innovative teaching formats for the subject to be represented
• active participation in the equality-oriented promotion of young scientists

Desirable qualifications:

• scientific and clinical expertise in the development and application of modern intensity-modulated radiation therapy techniques (e.g., IMRT, VMAT)
• interest in the introduction of new clinical radiation methods, including whole-body irradiation
• experience in research and evaluation in translational radiotherapy concepts
• interest in experimental radiation therapy in the laboratory

As the holder of this position – in a senior physician role with management responsibility – you will support the clinical, personnel, and economic development of the Department of Radiation Therapy and Radio-Oncology at the Campus Klinikum Bielefeld in a specialist and interdisciplinary context. In this role, you will also be involved in the MVZ for radiotherapy and ensure that the hospital fulfils its cross-sectoral care task. The current range of treatments offered by the Department of Radiation Therapy and Radio-Oncology includes conventional and intensity-modulated teletherapy (3D techniques, IMRT and VMAT, DIBH) as well as intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy (https://www.klinikumbielefeld.de/ausstattung.html).

You will represent the field of Radiation Therapy, with a focus on the development of new techniques in research and teaching. A particular focus of your scientific work is the further development of translational research approaches that bridge the gap between preclinical model research, clinical studies, and innovative treatment technology. The aim of this research is to develop and evaluate novel and individualized therapy concepts in tumor treatment through the close integration of clinical radiation oncology, radiation biology and medical physics. Furthermore, the participation in interdisciplinary research networks is expected (including the collaboration with the following fields: Hematology and Oncology, Physics, and Computer Science at Bielefeld University).

We expect close collaboration with other departments of the UMC OWL, other faculties of Bielefeld University, and the medical community (private practices) in the region. Therefore, we are seeking an individual with leadership experience and expertise in the entire field, along with excellent communication and coordination skills.
