Job Description

Assistant or Associate Professor - Community-Based Physician Faculty (03-317-201): The Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, ranked in the top 5 for NIH Research funding, is recruiting for a Radiation Oncologist at the Assistant / Associate Professor, non-tenure track level.

The department provides Radiation Oncology services across several practice settings and seeks a physician to share duties between two community-based program sites: the Kaufman Cancer Center at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air, MD (UM-UCMC), and the Radiation Oncology Center (UM-SJMC) in Towson, MD.

The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in community-based academic radiation oncology, with a primary practice location in the community. Responsibilities include facilitating patient volume, participating in clinical trials, and developing collaborative relationships with local clinical providers. There may be opportunities to spend time at downtown facilities to access advanced radiation modalities.

All physicians participate in our teaching programs, which include lectures, mock oral exams, conferences, and training for residents, medical students, and other healthcare trainees.

The two practices are located north and northeast of Baltimore City, approximately 20 miles apart, both equipped with HDR brachytherapy programs, LINACs, and multidisciplinary disease site programs. They are part of active comprehensive cancer programs with opportunities for clinical trial enrollment and committee participation. The department operates within a unified EMR system.

The Department of Radiation Oncology's clinical program includes twenty physicians, with main facilities at UMMC within the Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center, and nine other locations across Maryland. The department features advanced technology including linear accelerators, proton therapy, GammaPod, HDR units, MRI, and programs in Hyperthermia Therapy, Brachytherapy, SRS/SBRT, and radiopharmaceuticals.

Research is focused on Precision Radiation Oncology (PRO), led by Dr. Phuoc Tran, with a division dedicated to translational radiation science. The Medical Physics team, led by Dr. Amit Sawant, comprises 30 faculty and supports research in treatment planning, tumor motion management, and image guidance.

Candidates must be board certified or eligible by the American Board of Radiology in Radiation Oncology, eligible for an unrestricted Maryland license, hold a medical degree from an accredited institution, and demonstrate a commitment to patient care and teaching. The anticipated salary ranges from $287,100 to $529,061, depending on experience.
