Associate or Professor of Radiation Oncology-Medical Physics
Posting Department: Radiation Oncology
Posted Date: 04/25/2013
Expire Date: 04/25/2015
The Department of Radiation Oncology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for an Associate or Full Professor position in either the non-tenure clinician-educator track or the tenure track. Track and rank will be commensurate with experience. The successful applicant will be accomplished in the area of Radiation Oncology. Expertise in the specific area of Medical Physics is required. Responsibilities include coordinating and supervising clinical activities for physicists and dosimetrists. Experience in proton therapy and image-guided radiation treatment (IGRT) is preferred. This position actively and independently contributes to department research and the teaching and training of radiation onclogy residents and medical physicist trainees. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree and have demonstrated excellent qualifications in clinical care, education, and research. ABR board eligibility in therapeutic radiological physics is required.
The Radiation Oncology clinic, located in the newly constructed Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine, includes five state-of-the-art Varian linacs, a Varian HDR unit installed alongside a Varian Acuity Simulator with CBCT capability, two Siemens Sensation wide bore 4-D CT simulators, a Siemens wide bore Espree MRI unit and a Philips wide bore PET/wide bore CT unit. We provide a full range of radiation oncology services (IMRT, brachytherapy, TBI, SRS, and SBRT) and have an active development program in all aspects of radiotherapy physics. We are also active in photodynamic therapy research. The Roberts Proton Therapy Center, which opened in January 2010, houses the largest proton therapy facility in the USA, comprising four gantry treatment rooms and one fixed beam room. This facility has several unique features including MLCs for scattered and uniform scanned beams, CBCT in the gantry rooms, and fast beam switching. The University of Pennsylvania Radiation Oncology Department also supports satellite facilities.
We seek candidates who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense.
The University of Pennsylvania is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.
