Department of Radiation Oncology - Faculty Position
Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, United States, 30301
Photon Physicist Position
Applications are sought for full-time faculty positions for a photon physicist at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Emory University School of Medicine under the guidance of the Director of Medical Physics. Emory's Department of Radiation Oncology serves multiple clinical institutions in the Atlanta metropolitan area, including Emory University Hospital Clifton, Winship Cancer Institute at Emory Midtown, Emory Proton Therapy Center, Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital, Grady Hospital, and Emory Decatur Hospital. It is an integral part of Winship, a National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. The newest practice sites include the Emory Proton Therapy Center, which opened in late 2018 and offers pencil beam scanning, and the new Winship Cancer Institute at Emory Midtown facility which offers a unique setting of multidisciplinary care delivery. The department treats over 4,000 patients annually. Highlights of the technology offered include 8 Varian linear accelerators, 1 Halcyon unit, 2 Elekta linear accelerators, a multi-room proton center, Gamma Knife, Zeiss IntraBeam intraoperative unit, multiple brachytherapy HDR afterloaders, large bore CT scanners with 4D capabilities, and access to MR and PET scanners including two dedicated 1.5 T MRI scanners. All linear accelerators are IGRT (2D, 3D) and respiratory motion management equipped. The oncology information system is ARIA with treatment planning systems including Eclipse and RayStation. The department has grown in its clinical, teaching, and research activities in the past decade and includes leaders in each of these areas, with many faculty members holding substantial NIH and other grant funding, leading innovative multi center trials, and publishing extensively in the highest impact journals. There are currently more than 60 faculty members in the department's Divisions of Clinical Affairs, Cancer Biology, Medical Physics, and Health Services, Outcomes, and Policy. In addition, there is a fully accredited three-year training program for medical physics residents as well as a four-year training program for radiation oncology residents. Emory physics faculty also participate in Georgia Institute of Technology's medical physics education and research programs. The Medical Physics Division has a successful research program and has multiple investigators funded by NIH in artificial intelligence and image-guided radiotherapy. Candidates must have a PhD, or equivalent doctoral degree. Candidates must be ABR board eligible and certification in therapeutic radiological physics is preferred. The candidate is expected to support clinical services, participate in the education of medical physicist residents and medical residents, and conduct clinical and translational research. Applicants who have research interests that significantly contribute to the overall departmental academic effort are strongly encouraged to apply. Emory School of Medicine is renowned as a premier research institution, educational leader, and provider of cutting-edge patient-centered care: we welcome those seeking to elevate our mission to join us.
