Clinical Medical Physicist

About the Role

Join a technically advanced, physicist-led radiation oncology practice combining community practice pace and collegiality with academic center tools and research opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform treatment planning oversight, plan review, and independent verification for external beam (SRS/SBRT/IMRT/VMAT/3D) and HDR brachytherapy cases.
• Deliver physics support for HDR brachytherapy procedures, including GYN, skin, and live ultrasound-based prostate HDR with real-time planning.
• Support the radiopharmaceutical therapy program, including dosimetry, radiation safety, and program development for current and emerging agents.
• Execute and continuously improve machine, patient-specific, and imaging QA (TG-142/TG-198, TG-218) across linacs, CT, and PET/CT.
• Participate in chart rounds, peer review, incident learning (RO-ILS), and APEx-aligned quality and safety initiatives.
• Commission and evaluate new equipment, software, and techniques; contribute to technology assessment and capital planning.
• Provide clinical instruction and mentorship for radiation therapy staff, dosimetrists, and students; contribute to departmental research projects and the development of the planned CAMPEP physics residency program.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Modern platform with a fully automated workflow.
• Two beam-matched Varian TrueBeam linacs, Eclipse/ARIA, and the complete RadFormation suite (AutoContour, ClearCheck, EZFluence, ClearCalc, QuickCode, ChartCheck).
• Full-spectrum clinical program: ~65 patients daily, including SRS (HyperArc), SBRT, IMRT/VMAT, and surface-guided RT.
• HDR brachytherapy program covering GYN/cervix, skin, and live ultrasound-based prostate HDR.
• Dedicated CT simulator plus a separate PET/CT unit.
• Active radiopharmaceutical therapy program with Lu-177, with Ac-225 research and next-generation alpha-emitter therapies on the near horizon.
• ASTRO APEx® accredited practice and RO-ILS participant.
• 0.9 FTE with a 4-day work week.

Qualifications

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Medical Physics or related field.
• Graduation from a CAMPEP-accredited graduate program and/or residency strongly preferred.
• ABR certification in Therapeutic Medical Physics preferred; board-eligible candidates actively pursuing certification are encouraged to apply.
• 3+ years of clinical experience preferred.
• Experience with Varian platforms (TrueBeam, Eclipse, ARIA) and brachytherapy is a plus.
• Curiosity and a safety-first mindset are essential.
• Supports and adheres to the US Oncology Compliance Program, including the Code of Ethics and Business Standards.

Work Environment: On-site clinical role involving treatment planning and delivery systems, hands-on machine QA, and direct participation in patient procedures.
