Assistant or Associate Professor of Clinical Medical Physics (03-317-212)
American Association of Blacks in Higher Education, Baltimore, Maryland, United States, 21276
Overview
The Department of Radiation Oncology, at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, is recruiting for a faculty Medical Physicist at the Assistant / Associate Professor, non-tenure track level at our University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) location in Baltimore, MD. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in medical physics, engineering, or related physical science and ABR board certification/eligibility in radiation oncology physics. The anticipated rank is Assistant Professor or higher; final rank and tenure status will be commensurate with experience.
The successful candidate will join our existing team of Medical Physics faculty at UMMC and will handle clinical duties including quality assurance, machine maintenance and calibration, patient treatment planning and treatment support, and technology/workflow optimization and implementation. The faculty member is also expected to support special procedures such as motion managed intensity modulated proton therapy and robust stereotactic body radiation therapy. Active participation in teaching residents and trainees, as well as engagement in clinical innovation and translation, is expected. The department maintains a broad research program in areas including proton and electron FLASH radiation therapy, prompt gamma imaging, proton arc therapy, dual-energy CT planning, LET-based planning, advanced motion management, AI and radiomics applications, small animal image-guided proton therapy on the beamline SARRP platform, and MRI-guided IMPT. Candidates with significant interest and a track record of extramural funding in these areas will be provided dedicated and shared resources upon mutual agreement.
The UMMC facility includes a Varian 5-room Probeam with pencil beam scanning, a dual-energy Siemens CT simulator, a Siemens 1.5T MRI scanner, and a dedicated beamline for small animal image-guided radiotherapy research, including proton FLASH RT studies. Treatment planning systems from RaySearch Laboratories.
The Medical Physics team is led by Dr. Amit Sawant, Vice Chair for Medical Physics, and comprises 31 medical physics faculty, 25 dosimetrists, 3 physics residents, and 7 information systems/technology staff. All practice sites are connected via a state-of-the-art telemedicine network. Research programs include advanced treatment planning and delivery techniques, real-time respiratory motion management, functionally-guided radiation therapy, prompt-gamma imaging, dual-energy CT, AI applications in radiation therapy (radiomics and radiogenomics), and electron/proton FLASH radiotherapy. Medical physics research space is co-located with precision radiotherapy and radiobiology research to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and team science.
The anticipated salary for this position is $176,000-$316,000 dependent upon experience. This salary range reflects base pay and may vary based on rank, years in rank, and other factors. The compensation may include additional components based on the Radiation Oncology faculty compensation program. For more information, please contact the hiring department.
The referenced salary range represents the minimum and maximum salaries for this position and is based on the University of Maryland School of Medicine\'s good faith belief at the time of posting. Not all candidates will be eligible for the upper end of the salary range. The actual compensation offered may vary based on skills, work experience, internal equity, market conditions, education/training, and other factors as determined by the University.
UMB offers a comprehensive benefits package prioritizing wellness, work/life balance, and professional development. This position participates in a retirement program and includes a generous leave package with vacation, holidays, personal leave, sick time, health insurance, professional development programs, and tuition remission for employees and dependents at any University System of Maryland school.
Qualifications Candidates must have
a PhD in medical physics, engineering, or related physical science and ABR board certification/eligibility in radiation oncology physics. The expected rank for this position is Assistant Professor or higher, with final rank and tenure status commensurate with experience.
