Job Description

The HUG Radio-oncology Service has a clinical, research, and teaching mission to provide quality services to the Geneva population. Within a dynamic team of radio-oncologist doctors, medical physicists, translational and clinical research teams, radiology technologists and dosimetrists, as well as nurses, your role is to coordinate projects delegated by the Service's Management. These concern innovation and development, research and teaching, as well as the Service's external communication.

You participate in training, drafting new procedures and protocols, as well as research and development projects, in line with the Service's missions and priorities.

You work within our technical platform, which welcomes more than 1,100 patients annually. This platform is also dedicated to translational research in radio-oncology and radiobiology. It includes a virtual simulation system with a dedicated scanner, an Eclipse dosimetry system, two linear accelerators equipped with multileaf collimators allowing IGRT treatments, as well as a linear accelerator specifically intended for stereotactic radiotherapy: the Cyberknife.

Available technologies include VMAT, HyperArc radiosurgery, a real-time imaging system (OBI, Conebeam CT, Exac Trac, Calypso), as well as a VisionRT recognition and repositioning system. The platform also has an HDR brachytherapy source projector (high dose rate), a superficial hyperthermia unit, an orthovoltage device, an intraoperative radiotherapy device, quality control systems and PTW dosimeters (Octavius, Starcheck, RTQA Films), the Artiscan quality control software, and the Lucy® phantom for stereotactic treatment control.

An innovation laboratory in radiobiology applied to radio-oncology is fully equipped, including an irradiator for small animals operating in conventional and FLASH mode.

Your mission is to lead and manage projects of the Radio-oncology Service, ensuring their integration into the institution's value chain, organizationally, technologically, and culturally, thus contributing to the realization of the strategic plan.

You act as an internal consultant, conducting studies and diagnostics in various fields such as organization, management, or quality in clinical and translational research.

You are also responsible for training, supporting, supervising, and coaching HUG employees in project and change management.

Finally, you present and promote institutional projects at conferences or congresses, while leading or participating in reflections on improving internal organization and processes.
