Current jobs related to Physicist I - Salem, Ohio - University Hospitals

University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center (UH-SCC) and Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) are seeking two full-time physicists to join the Department of Radiation Oncology. This is an exciting opportunity to participate in building clinical, research, and educational programs in partnership with the department's leadership team to propel UH-SCC to be a world-class center of excellence.

The ideal candidate will be a motivated, independent individual with excellent communication skills, who can work as part of the team or independently. Clinical experience in advanced radiotherapy techniques, a Ph.D., or M.Sc. in Medical Physics or related discipline, and certification/board eligibility in therapeutic medical physics from the American Board of Radiology (ABR) is required.

The candidate will join a team of 20 physicists and 15 dosimetrists and will participate in all routine clinical medical physics tasks such as acceptance and commissioning, quality assurance, direct patient care, radiation safety, and treatment planning support.

The successful candidate is expected to teach didactic courses for physician residents, as well as mentor physics residents, dosimetry students, and guide trainees as multiple educational programs are under development, including a medical physics graduate program.

UH is comprised of 23 hospitals, of which cancer services are currently at 15 centers. UH-SCC is consistently ranked as a top cancer center by US News and World Report, is one of only a select number of centers with NCI designation, and even fewer with a proton center.

The Radiation Oncology Department is currently located at 9 centers, and is undergoing an exciting transformation to become international leaders in Radiation Oncology. There has been investment and recruitment of top talent with over 25 new staff and faculty hired in the past year due to this positive and exciting change.
