Your role
Medical and health sciences education at the University of Luxembourg are rapidly growing and are strategic areas of development for both the University and the government of Luxembourg. To effectively foster high quality teaching within the recently created study programmes, namely a bachelor in medicine, several nursing sciences programmes as well as midwifery, the University of Luxembourg is recruiting for the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) an Assistant Professor in Medical Imaging.
The Faculty of Science, Technology, and Medicine at the University of Luxembourg strives for excellence in the education and research of medicine, biomedical sciences and allied health professions.

A fifth programme 'Bachelor of Nursing in General Care' started in September 2024, while two more bachelor programmes - Midwifery and radiographer/clinical imaging - are set to commence in September 2025. These programmes are organized by combining theoretical training as well as simulations using the latest technology with practical training in hospitals, outpatient clinics and care centres, in collaboration with various institutions in the country and abroad. Due to the expansion of educational and research programmes in medicine and health professions, we are now recruiting a professor in medical imaging to further strengthen education and research efforts.
