St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

The Department of Radiation Oncology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is recruiting medical physicists to join its physics faculty. Faculty appointment to either a Clinician Scientist track or Clinical track is awarded based on the candidate’s expertise, experience and demonstrated record of academic achievement.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in medical physics, engineering, or related physical science. Certification in radiation oncology physics by ABR/ABMP or eligibility for certification is highly desired. Board certification is expected within three years of employment. Foreign equivalents for these qualifications will be considered if acceptable.

The department is focused on research and treatment of pediatric patients with an emphasis on brain, musculoskeletal, and solid tumors. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong interest in proton therapy and developing new methods of targeting, treatment planning, delivery, and outcome modeling.

The department supports four clinician scientist faculty physicists, six clinical faculty physicists, three dosimetrists, two medical physics assistants, and dedicated engineering, information systems, and research staff, inclusive of research scientists, post-doctoral fellows, and clinical research associates. The department includes five full-time pediatric radiation oncologists and supportive nursing, radiation therapy, and child life specialist teams. The department is one of the largest pediatric radiation oncology facilities in the world and treats approximately 300 children, adolescents, and young adults each year.

Our Proton Therapy Center is the first in the world dedicated solely to the treatment of children with cancer. The Proton Therapy Center is equipped with the Hitachi PROBEAT-V System, including two gantry rooms and a fixed beam room. Each room has a high-precision patient positioning, volumetric CBCT image-guidance system, and a dedicated pencil-beam scanning nozzle. Video-based surface image guidance is also available. The department has 45,000 square feet of clinical space that includes a dedicated clinic, treatment planning, therapy, and anesthesia support. It houses a Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator system with image-guidance and multiple imaging platforms (Spectral CT, PET/CT, 1.5T MR and 3.0T MR simulators) dedicated to treatment planning and on-treatment assessment.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, ranked among the top 5 pediatric cancer hospitals by US News & World Report in 2023, is dedicated to supporting the professional and career development of faculty allowing for protected time and support based on effort distribution and responsibilities. St. Jude faculty receive generous benefits, such as retirement compensation plans, professional development allowance, and tuition assistance.

Brief interviews can be arranged during the AAPM Annual Meeting in Los Angeles from July 20th to July 25th. We encourage graduates from the Medical Physics program in 2025 to apply for the positions.


How to apply:

Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, a letter outlining their career plans and interests that align with the Department’s mission, and the names of three references directly online.
