Assistant or Associate Professor of Clinical Medical Physics (FRIS: 03-317-209)
The Association of Technology, Management and Applied Engineering, Baltimore, Maryland, United States, 21276
Job Description
Assistant or Associate Professor of Clinical Medical Physics: 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 Maryland Proton Treatment Center location in Baltimore, MD. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in medical physics, engineering, or a related physical science and ABR board certification/eligibility in radiation oncology physics. Expected rank for this position will be Assistant Professor or higher; however, final rank and tenure status will be commensurate with the selected candidate's experience.
The successful candidate will join our existing team of dedicated Medical Physics faculty at the MPTC and will be responsible for clinical duties such as quality assurance, machine maintenance and calibration, patient treatment planning and treatment support, as well as technology and workflow optimization and implementation. In addition, the faculty member will support special procedures that include motion‑managed intensity‑modulated proton therapy and robust stereotactic body radiation therapy. Active participation in teaching residents and trainees is also expected. The incumbent is also expected to actively engage in clinical innovation and translation. We have a comprehensive research program that encompasses 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 one or more of these areas will be given dedicated and shared resources upon mutual agreement.
The MPTC includes a Varian 5‑room Probeam facility with pencil beam scanning, a dual‑energy Siemens CT simulator, and a Siemens MRI scanner (1.5T) and a dedicated beamline for small‑animal image‑guided radiotherapy on the preclinical research platform for proton FLASH RT studies. Treatment planning systems from RaySearch Laboratories are used.
The Medical Physics team is led by Dr. Amit Sawant, Vice Chair for Medical Physics, and includes 31 medical physics faculty, 25 dosimetrists, 3 physics residents, and 7 information systems and technology staff. All practice sites are connected via a state‑of‑the‑art telemedicine network that facilitates interactions between faculty and staff. Research programs include the development of 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 including radiomics and radiogenomics, and electron and proton FLASH radiotherapy. The medical physics research space is co‑located with our 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 range reflects base pay based on faculty rank and years in rank and does not include all components of the Radiation Oncology faculty compensation program or variable compensation programs. The actual compensation may vary from the stated range and will ultimately depend on multiple factors, including the candidate’s skills, work experience, internal equity, market conditions, education/training, and other considerations as reasonably determined by the University.
UMB offers a comprehensive benefits package that prioritizes wellness, work/life balance, and professional development. This position participates in a retirement program that must be selected and is effective on the date of hire. Faculty receive a generous leave package that includes over 4 weeks of vacation accrued each year, paid holidays, personal leave, unlimited accrual of sick time, and comprehensive health insurance; professional learning and development programs; and tuition remission for employees and their dependents at any University System of Maryland school.
Consideration of candidates will begin upon receipt of applications and will continue until a suitable candidate is identified. For immediate consideration, please send a cover letter and a recent CV, including names and contact information of three references, to the following link: https://umb.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=250000RA&lang=en.
