Thomas Jefferson University is now accepting applications for a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Radiation Oncology to perform research in the field of computational physics, quality & safety, and cyberattack resiliency.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality-funded research on the developing novel method to improve cyberattack resiliency in Radiation Oncology. The focus of the research involves developing clinical software tools for Radiation Oncology and working with an interdisciplinary team to perform cyberattack simulated exercises in Radiation Oncology. The post-doctoral fellow will have an opportunity to collaborate with Thomas Jefferson University faculty as well as national and international collaborators. For those applicants interested in pursuing a Medical Physics residency, we are committed to providing clinical experience.

Candidates must have a PhD in Medical Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field. The ideal candidate will be highly interested in an academic Medical Physics career, have strong computational skills, and seek out a highly collaborative environment. Based on the interest of the post-doctoral fellow, opportunities will be provided to obtain clinical experience, treatment planning experience, as well as mentorship on clinical trial design and statistical modeling methods.

The Thomas Jefferson Medical Physics Division consists of 27 physicists, a computational physicist, 7 physics residents, and 5 post-doctoral research fellows. The Medical Physics division has 6 locations: the Bodine Center for Cancer Treatment in Center City Philadelphia, Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience, Asplundh Cancer Pavilion, Jefferson Torresdale Hospital, Jefferson Health New Jersey, and Jefferson Einstein Health.
