Position Description

The Department of Medical Physics and the Radiation Medicine Program at the Princess Margaret (PM) Cancer Centre in collaboration with the Stronach Regional Cancer Centre (SRCC) at Southlake are seeking a Medical Physicist to fill a permanent fulltime position for service at the SRCC. The PM has been providing Medical Physics leadership and Medical Physics service support to SRCC under a contractual relationship since 2009 and this PM position is part of this contractual arrangement. This position presents an unique opportunity that has the best of both worlds, as it provides all benefits of being associated with the large academic PM Department of Medical Physics including its clinical, research and educational collaboration agenda. At the same time, the candidate will be embedded at SRCC and be part of the smaller, nimbler multidisciplinary clinical team. The successful candidate will be able to gain different experience from both environments and expand their professional network.

SRCC is a growing cancer centre serving the York Region and the South Simcoe region, a rapidly growing community north of Toronto. It has three Elekta Versa linear accelerators and two Elekta Harmony linear accelerator (first in Canada), a Philips Big Bore CT simulator and a PET / CT simulator co-administered with the Radiology Department. The SRCC Medical Physics Department includes 6 FTE physicists and is active in clinical physics, resident education and operational research. The RayStation treatment planning system (TPS) has been implemented for part of the infrastructure and disease sites, and will completely replace the Pinnacle TPS within the next year. SRCC offers state-of-the-art treatment techniques including lung, liver, oligometastatic and paraspinal SBRT, curative and complex palliative treatments using VMAT. It is one of the best performing programs in the province of Ontario, consistently leading in various key quality indicators.

Through affiliation with PM’s Department of Medical Physics, staff professional and academic growth avenues will be provided including access to research and development opportunities related to topics in a set of focus areas. Topics include process automation, data science, MR-guided external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy, dose accumulation, adaptive radiotherapy, radiation dosimetry, proton and particle therapy technology development and implementation, theranostics, functional imaging for treatment response assessment and optical techniques and biophotonics in conjunction with radiation.

Both PM and SRCC’s department of Medical Physics is active in education and training of medical physicists through its CAMPEP-accredited residency program at the University of Toronto, Department of Radiation Oncology. The Medical Physics department at PM also maintains a strong relation with University of Toronto’s Department of Medical Biophysics through which it established a CAMPEP-accredited Ph.D. program since 2022, providing robust access to top-notch graduate students. The successful candidate will be encouraged and supported to secure an academic appointment at the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Toronto.

Qualifications

• The successful candidate holds a CAMPEP-accredited graduate degree in Medical Physics or related field
• CCPM eligible and has experience in advanced imaging, treatment planning and delivery technologies in external beam radiation therapy.
• Motivated self-starter wanting to make a difference, and a team player with excellent communication and problem-solving skills and high adaptability, eager to foster and develop their skills and keen in participating in or leading clinical development and research.
