Clinical research is coordinated by a Clinical Research Associate.

 

Contract:

Recruitment is planned under the “praticien hospitalier” (hospital practitioner) status, with the possibility of private practice activity.
No on-call duties, no night shifts.

You’ll join a motivated, friendly, and dynamic team with several exciting projects such as the development of extracranial stereotactic radiotherapy.

• Interdepartmental consultations
• Participation in multidisciplinary tumor boards (general, urology, dermatology)
