To support the increasing complexity of our Radiation Oncology practice, the Medical Physics Division is seeking four clinical medical physicists to join our practice at our main facility in Rochester MN . 

Position: The primary responsibilities of our clinical medical physics staff are to ensure that patients receive the prescribed dose of radiation to the correct location safely and effectively, to implement new technologies and treatment procedures, and to manage and participate in a robust quality program. We collaborate with Radiation Oncologists, Dosimetrists, Therapists and other staff to optimize our patient treatments. These positions are 100% clinical with opportunities to participate in teaching activities and clinical/research projects according to personal interests. 

Department Facilities: The Department’s photon practice treats greater than 250 patients per day. Photon treatment procedures include all conventional radiation therapy modalities plus special procedures that include IORT, TBI, TSET, HDR, SRS, SBRT, SFRT, BH, Orthovoltage and LDR. The Department maintains a complement of 11 Varian Truebeam Linacs, 3 Varian iX Linacs, a Varian EX for IORT, a Gamma Knife Icon, GE and Siemens CT simulators with 4D and cardiac imaging capability, a 3T MRI, a Bravos and two VariSource HDR afterloaders, LDR brachytherapy (PSI and Eye Plaques), and an XStrahl Orthovoltage unit. EBRT treatment planning utilizes Eclipse, with Varian Brachytherapy Planning for HDR, and Variseed for PSI treatment planning. R&V uses the ARIA platform. A full complement of dosimetry and detector systems for photon, proton and brachytherapy are available at all sites. 

We will be replacing one of our Truebeams with a Varian Ethos system next year and we are also implementing a Cardiac Brachytherapy program. 

The Medical Physics Division is comprised of 19 faculty medical physicists, 28 staff clinical medical physicists (7 faculty and 10 clinical physicists in photons), 7 - 9 residents/fellows, 4 medical physicist assistants, as well as engineers and IT support. Our primary working principle is that the needs of the patient come first. We are a seasoned and cohesive team responsible for all aspects of therapy physics in support of clinical practice, education and research in radiation oncology in Rochester and at 5 satellite facilities.

Mayo Radiation Oncology has facilities that include Rochester, and satellite facilities in Mankato, Northfield and Albert Lea in Minnesota; and La Crosse and Eau Claire in Wisconsin. We have major sister facilities in Scottsdale, AZ and Jacksonville, FL. The Mayo Rochester campus is the largest and central location for the radiation oncology practice. Ranked No. 1 on the US News Best Hospitals Report, Mayo Clinic in Rochester offers an excellent salary and benefits package. Mayo provides a robust infrastructure to support the clinical practice, research and education at all sites. Mayo strongly values family time and supports a favorable, team-based working environment. Located in Southeastern Minnesota, Rochester is a growing and diverse community of over 100,000 people. It is an exceptional place to live and raise a family. The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are a short drive from any of our clinics. Outdoor activities on the lakes, rivers and trails abound. Mayo Foundation is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer/educator.
