Radiation Physics Laboratory in the Department of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine has been one of the pioneer laboratories in the development of advanced preclinical irradiation systems including SARRP and x-ray FLASH irradiators. These systems have provided the opportunities for advanced preclinical researches such as the biological effects of ultrahigh dose-rate irradiations (FLASH effects), spatially fractionated radiotherapy (e.g. grid) and conformal irradiation. In addition, our laboratory in the proton therapy center at Sibley Memorial Hospital has been equipped for dosimetric and preclinical studies using conventional and FLASH proton beams.

Our physics laboratory has an opening for a qualified and motivated postdoctoral research fellow to join the team developing the next generation of preclinical irradiation systems and performing radiobiological studies. The postdoctoral fellow will work on FLASH x-ray and proton irradiation systems, and will be a participant in the development of Monte-Carlo based dose engine, dosimetric and preclinical experiments. Opportunities also exist for the interested candidate to acquire experience in clinical physics practice pertinent to the fellowship.

Required Qualification:

• Recent PhD graduates in medical/biomedical physics, physics, bioengineering or related training,
• Experience in radiation dosimetry using different dosimeters,
• Programing experience in C++, Matlab, and Monte Carlo software including Geant4 and EGSnrc,
• Experience in preclinical and laboratory radiation research, preferable.

For consideration, please send a cover letter, CV, and the name and contact information of three references to Dr. Mohammad Rezaee, mrezaee1@jhmi.edu.
