Northwest Medical Physics Center (NMPC) has an opening for a radiation oncology physicist to join our team in the North Puget Sound region of Washington State.   The successful candidate will join a group of three physicists and a medical physics assistant (MPA, possibly two) to serve three of our clinics that are within less than forty minutes of each other by car.    There is no traffic to speak of in that beautiful region of NMPC’s coverage area.   The North Puget Sound area boasts outdoor activities from skiing and hiking to kayaking and swimming in its abundant salt and fresh bodies of water.  It nicely sits between Seattle, WA, and Vancouver, BC, with a reputable regional university.

These clinics have six Varian and Elekta machines.   Treatment planning and R/V systems are Eclipse and Aria for the Varian linac sites and RayStation and Mosaiq for the Elekta center.   The total number of patients in all the three sites is a manageable workload of about ninety per day for four physicists and two MPAs.   SRS and SBRT are offered in all the clinics, whereas HDR is practiced in only one clinic. 

Ideal candidate education and experience:

• Masters level degree (minimum) from a CAMPEP accredited university
• Successful completion of a CAMPEP accredited residency program
• ABR Board certification (or CCPM) or in process of obtaining ABR certification
