THERADNET Marie Curie ITN: Early Stage Researcher Fellowships (ESR11) – 3 YEAR PHD POSITION

The EU-funded Innovative Training Network THERADNET aims to provide a multidisciplinary and intersectorial training to 15 early stage researchers (ESRs) in the field of experimental radiation oncology. THERADNET stands for: "International NETwork for training and innovations in THErapeutic RADiation".
As a consortium of eight leading Radiobiology Laboratories in Europe, THERADNET will bring together radiation biologists, clinician scientists, clinicians and non-academic partners across Europe to investigate the plasticity of an altered tumor metabolism and tumor microenvironment, including the immune system, prior to, and in response to radiotherapy, as well as related dose-limiting adverse effects in normal tissues. The research program covers three scientific work packages addressing tumor sensitization, normal tissue protection and adaptation and escape mechanisms.
