Radiation Physics Division
Department of Radiation Oncology
Stanford University
The research assistant will be working on evaluation performance of two devices being used for the tracking of a robotic arm used during radiation therapy. The work will involve building phantoms to record indexing positions using optical and electromagnetic tracking. The purpose of this testing is to characterize and improve the accuracy of positioning of the robotic arm during radiation treatment. If interested, please read below.
The Imaging Systems for Radiotherapeutics group focuses on the design and development of novel imaging devices and applications as well as state of the art radiotherapy delivery techniques using radiotherapy systems. The research group is currently looking for an undergraduate research assistant interested in medical imaging with experience/coursework in mechanical engineering, physics, product design, or computer science.
Qualifications
Stanford Undergraduate
Meticulous Attention to detail
Strong desire to learn, high energy, self-motivated
Coursework or comparable experience in Product Design, Mechanical Engineering, CS, EE, Biology, Robotics
Students who are eligible can receive Federal Work Study at a rate of $13/hr. Hours are flexible, but we request at least a one quarter commitment. Two or more quarters is preferred.
Interested applicants should submit a CV and a short statement describing your qualifications.
All materials can be email to Kevin Smith at kdsmith3@stanford.edu
