FACULTY POSITION, DEPARTMENT OF RADIATION ONCOLOGY: Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, Kimmel Cancer Center, is now accepting applications for a full-time employed faculty position in the Department of Radiation Oncology in the Center City location.  The department is seeking a highly motivated individual to join Jefferson’s dynamic, collegiate, and expanding physics team.

The Medical Physics Division currently consists of nineteen physicists, eight physics residents, and plans to hire multiple post-doctoral research fellows. The Jefferson physics faculty lead a highly-impactful and diverse research program. The group currently has on-going funded projects by the National Cancer Institute, vendor funded research, as well as Kimmel Cancer Center funding. Research topics include quality and safety, functional imaging, proton research, multi-lesion SRS, MR-guided radiation therapy, DNA damage modeling, deep learning, and physics-lead clinical trials. The group has active collaborations with the Jefferson physician faculty as well as on-going national and international research projects. Physics research support consists of IT professionals, clinical trial research coordinators, and grant management specialists.

The Radiation Oncology Department at Thomas Jefferson University, including its six affiliate centers, offers state-of-the-art treatment capabilities. System-wide equipment includes a newly commissioned ViewRay MRILinac, Varian TrueBeams (standard and HD-MLC), Elekta Agility linacs with 4D CBCT, a large bore 4D CT, Nucletron HDR, and an Elekta Gamma Knife Icon. Treatment planning is harmonized across the enterprise with Eclipse and the Mosaiq record and verify platform.  Other special procedures include TBI, TSET, hyperthermia and an extensive brachytherapy program. Prostate HDR is carried out in our BrachySuite using real-time US-guided Oncentra Prostate planning. 

Jefferson's Division of Medical Physics has a long-standing history of educating trainees. The department contains a Medical Physics Residency Program (including one of the first “hub and spoke” residencies), a Master’s of Science Medical Physics program, and is active in teaching medical residents.

The successful candidate will have high research ambition, possess a strong clinical background, and be excited to become an active member of Jefferson’s educational mission. The candidate will have opportunities to take part in any ongoing research programs or to initiate new research directions per their interests. Applicants should have qualifications to meet junior or senior faculty rank: a Ph.D. or M.S. degree, and be either board certified or board eligible/post-CAMPEP residency in the field of Medical Physics. Experienced physicists as well as new residency graduates are welcome to apply.

Thomas Jefferson University, located in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is an Equal Opportunity Employer.  Jefferson values diversity and encourages applications from women, members of minority groups, LGBTQ individuals, disabled individuals, and veterans. Applicants should forward a curriculum vitae to the physics administrative assistant, Sara Simons at sara.simons@jefferson.edu.
