University Hospital Bern – Department of Nuclear Medicine

The Department of Nuclear Medicine at Inselspital Bern University Hospital is one of the largest and most efficient nuclear medicine departments in Switzerland. We offer outpatients and inpatients the entire spectrum of modern nuclear medicine examination and treatment methods, including state-of-the-art technology such as the world's first installation of the digital long axial field of view Quadra PET/CT scanner from Siemens. With national and international collaborations, it is embedded in a strong network of clinical, preclinical and biomedical engineering research.

Project Overview

Our vision is to drive the future of nuclear medicine by advancing the development and preclinical characterisation of tracers, redefining image acquisition, and revolutionizing image reconstruction and analysis with state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. Ultimately, we aim to provide personalized diagnosis and therapy for optimal patient outcomes.

Job Summary

We are looking for highly motivated and qualified researchers to join our multidisciplinary team. Together we will shape the future of molecular imaging and theranostic treatments.
