Banner Health in Northern Colorado is seeking a medical physicist for a full-time position in radiation oncology.  The physicist will join a team of two physicists and a physics assistant/resident to provide physics services for three APEx-accredited integrated sites in beautiful Northern Colorado.  All three sites will employ TrueBeam linear accelerators, RayStation treatment planning, and Mosaiq R&V, and VisionRT SGRT.  Two sites use GammaMed HDR afterloaders with BracyhVision treatment planning.  One site uses a Varian STX with ExacTrac for the SRS program.

Banner is a partner in the MD Anderson Cancer Network, which provides physicists the opportunity to work in collaboration radiation oncology colleagues at M.D. Anderson in Houston, and at Banner sites in Arizona.  M.D. Anderson has been ranked as the No. 1 hospital for cancer care in the nation since 2018 by U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Hospitals” survey.

Located at foot of the stunning Rocky Mountains, Northern Colorado offers an array of activities for outdoor enthusiasts just outside the city limits.  The northern Front Range metro area has a vibrant art scene, and is home to a number of universities.   Less than 60 minutes from Denver, it is easy to access an international airport, and other amenities of a major metropolitan city.  Northern Colorado is also home to many of the state’s top-ranked schools.

The physicist verifies proper calibration, operation, and safety of radiation-producing machines and sources in accordance with established guidelines and protocols. The physicist ensures accuracy, quality, and safety of radiation therapy treatments.  This includes reviewing treatment plans, assisting and supporting dosimetry and therapy staff, and performing measurements and evaluations as necessary. They physicist works with an interdisciplinary radiation oncology team to plan and deliver advanced specialized therapies such as HDR brachytherapy, SBRT, and SRS. The physicist collaborates with department staff and physics colleagues to evaluate, commission, and implement new technologies. The physicist ensures all radiation safety standards and regulatory requirements are met, and maintains a safe environment for patients, personnel, and visitors. The physicist applies independent judgement and learned methodologies while operating within established policies and procedures. The physicist assists in staff continuing education, physics resident training, and dosimetry student education. The physicist consistently demonstrates Banner core values:

• Treating those we serve and each other with compassion, dignity and respect

• Acting with integrity and striving for the highest quality care and service

• Exceeding the expectations of the people we serve and those we set for ourselves

The physicist engages with Banner and MD Anderson colleagues to advance the MD Anderson vision at Banner sites: “We shall be the premier cancer center in the world, based on the excellence of our people, our research-driven patient care and our science”.

Licensure by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) is required.

Basic Life Support (BLS) certification is required.
