The proton therapy system is equipped with three gantries, one fixed beam and one eye treatment station, and is optimized for outpatient, image-guided precision radiotherapy using protons.

Particle therapy skills may be acquired at the center. An interest in clinical research is expressly preferred. There will be an opportunity for doctorate or post-doctoral habilitation.

For purposes of patient care, a medical practitioner's license issued under German Medical Association rules is required.

Severely disabled applicants and individuals treated as such under Sect. 2 Para. 3 of the German Social Security Code (Vol. IX) shall be given preference, all else being equal. The University of Duisburg-Essen aims to increase the percentage of women in its scientific and academic staff. Applications from females are strongly encouraged. Where suitability, aptitude and professional performance are equal, preference is given to women where reasons prevailing in the person of the competitor do not mitigate otherwise.
