John Stoddard Cancer Center is seeking an experienced physicist to join our team of 5 radiation oncologists, 3 physicists, and 5 dosimetrists. We are looking for up to two more physicists to join our team! Interested in a physicist that wants to be involved in a center that is progressive and performs a variety of treatments. Open to various work hours and schedules (including hybrid) based on experience and training.

John Stoddard Cancer Center is an all-Varian site with a Halcyon, TrueBeam STx, and a TrueBeam treating about 90 patients a day. The center treats a lot of SRS, SRT, and SBRT patients.  It is also a Center of Excellence for VisionRT. We have AlignRT on all three linacs (including InBore on our Halcyon) and GateCT on one of our two GE CT simulators.

We have a high HDR brachytherapy patient volume. Treat mostly prostate and GYN with some interstitial treatments, lung, and breast using a Varian Bravos HDR. HDR experience a plus but is not necessary. We can train you!

Applications used daily include Eclipse, ARIA, SunCHECK, SNC Patient (ArcCheck and SRS MapCheck), and several Radformation products (ClearCheck, ClearCalc, AutoContour, EZFluence, RadMachine, ChartCheck). We also have an IC Profiler and 3D Sun Nuclear water tank used for annual QA.

Des Moines is a great midwestern city with a lot of opportunities. Whether you like sports, the outdoors, theater, or music, you can find something that interests you! The cost of living and short commute times with no rush hour makes it an affordable and stress-free place to live. We are not just cornfields and farms!

M.S. in Medical Physics required.

ABR (or equivalent) board certification in therapeutic radiology preferred. Will consider ABR eligible applicants out of residency or still in residency. Sign on bonus of $25K and relocation reimbursement available.  If still in residency, a stipend of $10K/year up to $20K total will be paid.
