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.
