Overview

Exciting Opportunity for a PhD-level Senior Medical Physicist

Join our rapidly growing and innovative Cancer Center, where cutting-edge technology meets compassionate care. We're looking for a dedicated and skilled Senior Medical Physicist to contribute to our high-performing team and play a leading role in shaping the future of radiation oncology.

Responsibilities

In this dynamic position, you will be responsible for the therapeutic clinical services in external beam (including Adaptive-RT, SBRT, IMRT, VMAT, IGRT, SGRT) and brachytherapy (HDR, radiopharmaceutical) programs. Your work will ensure the safe, accurate, and effective delivery of radiation therapy for our patients, making a direct impact on their care and outcomes.

At our Radiation Oncology Department, you'll work with a cutting-edge array of equipment, including VARIAN ETHOS system with HyperSight, VARIAN Halcyon, VARIAN Trilogy (soon to be replaced with a VARIAN EDGE), GE PET/CT Simulator, and Siemens CT Simulator (featuring 4D and MAR options). We are also integrating VisionRT's novel SGRT solutions, such as InBore Align RT, SimRT, and MapRT, into our clinical workflow. This is an exciting opportunity for you to be involved in the development of adaptive treatment protocols using SGRT techniques.

Our department boasts a highly active brachytherapy program, offering a wide range of treatment modalities. Our physicians, who are recognized experts in brachytherapy, utilize the state-of-the-art VARIAN Bravos afterloader for high-dose-rate (HDR) treatments, including GYN, interstitial, and contact procedures. Additionally, all radiopharmaceutical infusions, such as XOFIGO and PLUVICTO, are administered in a specialized area within the department.

We use Mosaiq as our EMR, and ARIA (Eclipse with RapidPlan, Brachyvision) as our treatment planning system. In addition, we use a suite of products from Radformation (Autocontour, EZFluence, ClearCalc, ClearCheck, QuickCode), MIM (Maestro, ProtégéAI+), and LAP RadCalc. For routine QA testing, we have a range of advanced physics equipment, including a PTW BeamScan water phantom , several detector arrays (SNC ArcCheck, PTW Octavius 4D, PTW Starcheck Maxi, SNC Mapcheck, FilmQAPro), as well as all types of phantoms and dosimetric devices necessary for routine QA tests. Our team utilizes the TotalQA (ImageOwl) cloud-based platform for QA analysis and management.

You'll be welcomed into an experienced, tight-knit team that includes four physicists, three dosimetrists, and two QA technicians. Our team is built on mutual respect and support, and we encourage everyone to contribute ideas. We practice a round table policy, offering everyone the opportunity to take the lead on projects, and drive improvements. Finally, we understand the importance of work-life balance, and we offer a hybrid work model along with onsite parking.

We'd love to hear how your skills and expertise can help elevate the quality of care at Maimonides Cancer Center. If you're ready to join the largest and best team in Brooklyn that will help you take the next step in your career with a forward-thinking culture and the latest technology, apply today!
