As the UK gears up to open two leading-edge proton therapy centres in 2018, Professor Carsten P. Welsch, University of Liverpool’s Department of Physics, based at the Cockcroft Institute says there is a need for more researchers in this exciting field of accelerator science.

 

He says: “Particle-beam therapy is still very much in evolution and more work is needed to design and optimise the treatment facilities and beam delivery systems.”

 

To address this shortage he is coordinating a new European training network Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA), which is currently recruiting fellows to work in this exciting field of accelerator science.
