Junior Medical Physicist

Valdosta, GA | Full-Time, Direct Hire | $175,000 Annually

Blue United Sourcing is seeking a Junior Medical Physicist to join its established Radiation Oncology team. This opportunity is ideal for a physicist who has completed ABR Part 1, has completed or is well advanced in residency, and is ready to continue progressing toward full board certification while working alongside an experienced ABR-certified physicist.

The Junior Radiation Physicist will work alongside an experienced, ABR-certified physicist and collaborate closely with radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, and other members of the oncology team. The role supports the safe and accurate delivery of radiation therapy through treatment planning, dosimetry, equipment calibration, quality assurance, radiation safety, and regulatory compliance.

At a Glance

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 40 hours per week

Hours: Primarily 7:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m., with some scheduling flexibility

Weekends: None

Call: None

Setting: Outpatient comprehensive cancer center

Salary: $175,000 annually

ABR: Part 1 completed; candidate must be progressing toward certification

The Opportunity

As part of the Radiation Oncology team, the Junior Medical Physicist will support the safe and accurate delivery of radiation therapy across a diverse adult oncology population. You will work closely with radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, and an experienced medical physicist in an environment where the clinical disciplines work collaboratively throughout the treatment process.

The center treats prostate, breast, lung, head and neck, brain, liver, SRS, SBRT, and other adult oncology cases.

What You'll Be Doing

Calibrate radiation therapy equipment and verify safe and accurate operation.
Perform and verify calculations for external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy.
Perform and document required clinical dosimetry.
Participate in radiation surveys, leak testing, and radioactive source testing.
Support quality assurance activities for external beam therapy and brachytherapy.
Assist with radiation equipment maintenance oversight and service documentation.
Support compliance with NRC, ACR, state, and other applicable regulatory standards.
Participate in the development and review of medical physics policies and procedures.
Maintain accurate clinical and quality assurance documentation.
Provide radiation safety education and support to hospital personnel.
Collaborate with the clinical team on treatment planning, patient safety, and continuous quality improvement.

Your Clinical Environment

The department operates with:

Two matched Elekta Versa HD linear accelerators
Vision RT surface-guided radiation therapy
Large-bore 4D CT simulator
Elekta Mosaic integrated with EPIC
Treatment planning transitioning from Pinnacle to Elekta Monaco
Hexapod six-degree-of-freedom technology

Elekta experience is preferred, but permanent hires may be trained on the facility’s equipment.

The Team

You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary cancer center where medical oncology, radiation oncology, laboratory, pharmacy, research, social work, dietary services, and cancer registry services are located within the same center.

The department currently has an experienced, ABR-certified physicist on staff. Candidates should have completed ABR Part 1 and completed their residency or be sufficiently advanced in their residency and certification process, as the facility is unable to support a full residency program.

What You'll Bring

Graduate degree in Medical Physics preferred; an appropriate graduate degree in a related physical science may also be considered.
Successful completion of ABR Part 1.
Medical Physics residency completed or sufficiently advanced to continue toward ABR certification.
Board eligible for ABR or ABMP certification.
Knowledge of radiation therapy equipment calibration, treatment planning, dosimetry, quality assurance, and radiation safety.
Strong attention to accuracy, documentation, and patient safety.
Effective communication and interpersonal skills.
Current healthcare provider CPR certification.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Join a collaborative Radiation Oncology team where medical physics plays an integral role in treatment quality and patient safety. You will have the opportunity to work alongside an experienced ABR-certified physicist while continuing to develop professionally and progress toward full board certification.

The position offers a consistent weekday schedule with no weekends and no call, within a comprehensive cancer center where the oncology disciplines work closely together to provide coordinated patient care.
