Technician Robotics and Medical Imaging

About your role

As a Technician in the field of Robotics and Medical Imaging, you will support research projects focused on novel imaging technologies and advanced research instrumentation. You will be involved in the design, construction, testing, and optimization of experimental setups that combine robotics, medical (imaging) sensors, and automation. Thereby creating significant opportunities for you to tackle technical challenges and implement innovative solutions.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Creation of prototype sensor systems.
• Integrating sensors in robotic platforms.
• (Co-)creation of software for system control, data acquisition, and automation.
• Performing experimental (phantom) studies.
• Processing and analyzing data from experimental studies..
• Supporting other team members in their research activities.

About your workplace

The LUMC is an academic medical center where patient care, research and education are closely linked. Within this environment, various disciplines work together on innovative solutions that directly contribute to better diagnostics and treatments.

You will join the Interventional Molecular Imaging Laboratory (IMI-Lab), a multidisciplinary research group focused on the development of innovative technologies for imaging and image-guided therapy applications. IMI-Lab offers a dynamic environment where scientific curiosity and technological innovation go hand in hand, with practical implementation toward medical applications as a guiding principle. You will collaborate with other researchers: Technicians,  PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, medical doctors, and students. All with diverse, but complementing, backgrounds.

Working at IMI-Lab means contributing to technologies that may help shape the next generation of medical imaging and diagnostics.

About you

You are technically curious, detail-oriented, and enjoy developing and improving technical systems. You like turning ideas into working prototypes and are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
