The Department of Radiation Oncology at NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell is recruiting for a faculty Medical Physicist in a patient-focused, high-tech environment offering leading edge treatments including MR-guided treatments, OSMS, ExacTrac, Gamma Knife, IORT, TBI, HDR and permanent seed implants. The department comprises two clinical locations situated across the street from each other. The new outpatient facility situated on the 4th floor houses two Truebeam linacs as well as an MR-linac providing real-time, gated MR guided treatments with an active adaptive therapy program. The hospital-based department supports a Truebeam outfitted for Radiosurgery (HDMLC, Exactrac), a Varian IX linac, a Gamma Knife and brachytherapy anesthesia-ready procedure suite. Treatment planning is provided through a combination of Eclipse, BrainLab Elements, GammaPlan, Velocity and Radformation platforms, all sharing ARIA as our backbone for EMR and Record & Verify systems.
The successful candidate would join a team of 7 staff physicists, 2 faculty physicists along with 7 dosimetrists in support of a practice of 10 physicians and will be responsible for quality assurance aspects of radiation therapy physics (machine and equipment QA, treatment planning and related planning reviews, dosimetry measurements, brachytherapy) as well as participation in technology implementation, academic program support and the CAMPEP-accredited Medical Physics Residency program.
