Physicists Make Amazing Possible

Physicist – Radiation Oncology – Full Time - Days

As a radiation oncology physicist, you will assume a leading role in the following standard radiation therapy physics activities: machine calibrations, equipment QA, treatment planning, dosimetry measurements and calculations, brachytherapy, and radiation safety. Teaches residents, identifies new projects, carries them out to completion, and actively participates in the research activities of the section of medical physics.

Required Criteria

• M.S. in physics, medical physics or related field and at least three years of clinical radiation oncology physics working experience required for the staff medical physicist, or a Ph.D. in basic physics or medical physics. 
  • If the candidate holds a Ph.D. in basic physics or related field then the candidate should have either completed a postdoctoral fellowship/traineeship in medical physics or graduated from an accredited program conferring a M.S. in medical physics.  At least two years of clinical physics experience required (years towards a hospital based medical physics traineeship or M.S. program in medical physics included)
• New York State Medical Physics License or Limited Permit from the Department of Education  
  • If hired with a Limited Permit, License must be obtained within two years of hire
• Physicists who are in the process of obtaining their New York State License through reciprocity, can be hired with their out of state License, but until either a Limited Permit or NYS License is obtained (must be within one year) employee may only engage in activities related to orientation, training and project work and cannot be involved in any treatment, testing, or calibration duties
