The Department of Imaging Physics at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is recruiting for an Associate Professor or Professor Term Tenure/Term Tenure Track position. This is a clinical position for a Qualified Medical Physicist to assume the responsibilities of section Chief of Radiological Physics in the Department of Imaging Physics, Division of Diagnostic Imaging. Candidates should have strong clinical credentials with a history of leadership in medical physics.  Demonstration of academic achievement through high impact publications, awarding of peer-reviewed grants, sponsored research agreements and scientific collaborations is highly desirable. The Department provides medical imaging physics support to the primary campus of MD Anderson Cancer Center as well as satellite sites within the greater Houston area and support of our Cancer Network. Responsibilities include the oversight of a team of medical physicists (currently 8 faculty) devoted to patient and staff safety, clinical service, research and education in the physics of diagnostic imaging related to general radiography, fluoroscopy, mammography, interventional radiology, and computed tomography. The technical emphasis of the position will be in the evaluation and integration of imaging systems and continuous quality improvement. The ideal candidate will foster collaborative interactions with other faculty leaders to coordinate and optimize clinical, research and educational activities of the Section aligned with departmental, divisional and institutional priorities and policies. In addition, the candidate will provide support for development and maintenance of imaging protocols; provide consultations regarding patient safety; conduct acceptance and other periodic testing; and participate in the development and execution of ongoing quality control programs. Participation in appropriate educational programs is also expected.  

PhD or an equivalent degree in Medical Physics or related field is required. The candidate must also have certification from the American Board of Radiology in the specialty area of Diagnostic Medical Physics and a full Texas License in Diagnostic Radiological Physics or obtain such licensure within the first year of employment at MD Anderson. At least three (3) years of experience as an Associate Professor in clinical medical physics support or ten (10) years post the terminal doctoral degree in the applicable modalities within the Radiological Physics section is required.

MD Anderson is an NCI-designated cancer center with a very large Diagnostic Imaging department. The ideal candidate will work with a team of diagnostic medical physicists as experts supporting all technical aspects of radiological imaging and be able to independently provide clinical coverage in computed tomography, interventional radiology, mammography, general radiography, and fluoroscopy. Expertise in data systems and data management is highly desirable for this position.
