Description

The Division of Neuroradiology, Vascular and Interventional Radiology is looking for a

Tenure Track Professor of Oncologic Neuroradiology

Identification number: KA-NEURR-2026-003819

Application time: 09/17/2026

We are looking for an excellent specialist in radiology and researcher with additional training in neuroradiology (Germany/Switzerland) or an equivalent specialization in neuroradiology to expand our internationally renowned scientific and research agenda in oncologic neuroradiology. The successful candidate should be a proven expert in the field of oncologic neuroradiology and represent it in research, teaching and patient care. This tenure track professorship should help set up an internationally visible center for oncologic neuroradiology at the Medical University of Graz that strengthens the existing research areas of neuro-oncology and neuroimaging. The Division of Neuroradiology, Vascular and Interventional Radiology is part of the Department of Radiology. Closely cooperating with the neurology and neurosurgery departments, the division is an integral component of the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) Graz. The professorship focuses on neuroradiological imaging and integrates state-of-the-art methods such as multiparametric MRI, quantitative imaging, spectroscopy, radiomics and artificial intelligence (AI) in research, teaching and clinical care. Excellent research conditions and modern infrastructure, for example 3T research MRI (Magnetom Cima.X), two other 3T MR scanners, two 1.5 T scanners and a photon counting CT (Naeotom Alpha) as well as dedicated software solutions provide an optimal foundation for work. The new recently opened Department of Radiology building has its own MRI research area. In addition, the division has an extensive network of regional, national and international partners in clinical treatment and research that can be relied upon to promote innovative projects as well as interdisciplinary exchange. The direct proximity to Medical Science City Graz makes the clinical application of innovative research ideas possible in close collaboration with the medtech, biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. The initial appointment is limited to six years with a qualification agreement (tenure track model pursuant to § 99 para. 5 and 6 of the Universities Act). The career advancement goal is to transfer to a tenured position as an associate professor. If the candidate demonstrates outstanding and remarkable achievements, the qualification agreement may be fulfilled more quickly.
