Job description

Your Opportunity:

Alberta Health Services is looking for a highly motivated Dosimetrist II (DSII) to join our patient-focused and collaborative radiation therapy treatment planning program at the Cross Cancer Institute (CCI) in Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA. Reporting to the Manager, Radiation Therapy, the DSII will join an amazing team comprised of over 100 multidisciplinary staff committed to excellence in service delivery and improved outcomes for cancer patients. The CCI is the highest volume tertiary cancer center in Alberta, providing treatment to over 5500 new patients annually with eight Varian linear accelerators, one HDR afterloader, and two CT Simulators. We specialize in advanced treatment techniques that include SBRT, Linac-based SRS, LDR and HDR brachytherapy, as well as access to Gamma Knife and the made-in-Alberta AuroraRT Linac MR, MR Simulator, and Varian Ethos, which will be added to the clinical fleet over the next year. Specific responsibilities include external beam treatment planning for all sites (3D conformal, Field in Field, Inverse Planning including static field IMRT and VMAT, Lung SBRT, and Electron Beam planning) and MR-guided brachytherapy. The experienced DSII has the potential to expand their SBRT planning responsibilities, participate in clinical trials, and take on a resource role to provide site-specific subject matter expertise and mentorship within the broader Radiation Oncology program. The dynamic treatment planning environment at the CCI requires the DSII to provide on-site expertise for the RT team, with a hybrid work-from-home model available for flexibility. The start date is negotiable, and reimbursement for relocation expenses is available as per Alberta Health Services policy. There are three positions available.
