Yale New Haven Health is seeking a highly motivated individual for a Regional Chief Physicist in the Department of Radiation Oncology. The successful candidate will report to the Director of Physics and be an integral member of the Yale Physics Leadership team, together with the Smilow Chief Physicist, one other Regional Chief Physicist, and the Chief of Dosimetry. She/he will manage physics operations at the Waterford, Guilford, and Hamden regional sites, while providing direct clinical physics services at the Waterford location. The Chief Physicist will provide oversight for a regional team of four physicists and four dosimetrists. The effort is estimated to be equally split between management and direct clinical service. The successful candidate must be board-certified. Experience with Eclipse, Mosaiq/ARIA, and Varian Linacs is desired. Faculty appointment in the Yale University School of Medicine is available based on individual qualification.
