PhD Opportunity at UniTo in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie RAPTORplus Project in collaboration with INFN in Torino | Deadline: 9th of February 2026
The INFN of Torino is offering a three-year grant for a PhD position at the University of Torino within the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie RAPTORplus network, focusing on an integrated experimental and analytical framework to assess the biological effects of particle therapy beams using both 2D imaging of particle distributions and advanced spatial transcriptomics. The project will contribute to the refinement of biologically informed treatment approaches in particle therapy, working in close collaboration with the Neuroscience “Rita Levi Montalcini” Department of UniTo to provide the candidate with a unique combination of skills in particle-beam physics, radiobiology and molecular analysis.
