Lead Research Scientists are responsible for pursuing various innovation and exploration activities individually and in collaboration with others. You will be part of the Physics and Advanced Applications group at Business Line Neuro, a dedicated research and pre-development group.

Even though we are a research group, software development is at the core of what we do, so we expect you to not only be a skilled researcher but also have experience in good software development practices, preferably in Python.
For this position, we anticipate extended touchpoints to early-stage development of machine learning products, so experience of machine learning pipelines is considered an advantage.

Each year, millions of people hear the words no one wants to hear: "You have cancer." And behind each diagnosis lies a unique story, a family that deserves hope, a future that's worth fighting for. We know that no two treatment journeys are the same and delivering care is far from simple. It's complex, urgent, and deeply human. That’s why we don’t back down from challenges—we rise to them. From the smallest tumor change to the toughest clinical decisions, we see every obstacle as an opportunity to progress. That is what drives us. The people undergoing treatment. The clinicians providing the care. We are united in purpose. Together, we can create a world where every patient has access to the highest standard of care. This is our commitment because for everyone, it's personal. We are leading the innovation in personalized radiation therapy solutions. We are Elekta.
