Job Description

The Department of Health Technology (DTU Health Tech) at Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a position as Professor in Pharmaceutical Radiochemistry. 
We are looking for a senior academic with research interests at the intersection of radiopharmacy and radiochemistry. We offer you the opportunity to establish your career as a professor working in both a technical and a clinical setting. The position will enable you to contribute significantly to establishing stronger ties between university, hospitals, and industry, as well as building research excellence at the department within nuclear medicine. You will work very closely with the Hevesy Laboratory, the radiopharmaceutical unit of DTU Health Tech, with the focus of conducting cutting-edge research on radionuclides while producing radiopharmaceuticals and various nuclides for commercial use. 
The Hevesy Laboratory is GMP-compliant and approved to work with open and closed radioactive sources, including several unconventional and high-activity radionuclides that are not typically used in medical departments. We have three cyclotrons for isotope production, hot cells, clean room facilities, and a range of technical equipment. Our laboratory collaborates closely with other institutions specializing in fundamental dosimetry and with several European national laboratories to produce and use new radionuclides for therapy, diagnosis, and other social services. The role will also bridge to our section for Cell and Drug Technologies on new targets and drug delivery systems and our core facilities for animal research, the BioFacility, and our Translational Imaging Center with PET/CT capability for small animals as well as other parts of the department and DTU. 
Responsibilities and qualifications 
We are looking for candidates who have demonstrated excellent achievements in research and teaching in an internationally recognized scientific environment, relative to the relevant career level. A university degree and an outstanding doctoral degree or equivalent scientific qualification, as well as pedagogical aptitude, are prerequisites. Substantial research experience abroad is expected. Applicants should show a clear commitment to interdisciplinary research. Experience in (pre)clinical research is desired.
You have a scientific background in chemistry or pharmacy at the PhD level with international recognition within nuclear medicine and radiochemistry. You can combine high-level research and publication activity with the promotion of external cooperation and exploitation of research results in interaction with industry and the healthcare system. Furthermore, you can document your ability to attract research funding from national and international research programs. More specifically, you:

• have documented and successful education experience at all levels (BEng, MSc, and PhD) within a university’s study programs,
• are engaged in innovation and industrial collaboration, including the establishment of patent areas, the application of research results in commercial contexts, etc.,
• have experience working in or with clinical care settings,
• understand the importance of interdisciplinary research collaboration across scientific disciplines, particularly the technical and health sciences.
• have experience with preclinical research and imaging with radiopharmaceuticals.

You are expected to take a leading role in teaching at the BEng, BSc, MSc, and PhD levels. The department wishes to build a curriculum in pharmaceutical radiochemistry, where you will be expected to contribute to managing and teaching courses during the spring and autumn semesters. 
DTU employs two working languages: Danish and English. You are expected to be fluent in at least one of these languages, and in time are expected to master both.
You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:

• Documented experience and quality of teaching and curriculum development
• Research impact and experience, funding track record and research vision.
• International impact and experience 
• Societal impact
• Innovativeness, including commercialization and collaboration with industry or public health organizations.

DTU collaborates closely with public health authorities, which secures both the impacts of research and access to the clinic.
