Job description

Job Details

ChristianaCare is seeking a Medical Physicist to join the team at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced physicist or an earlier-career professional ready to take the next step following residency.

What You'll Do

• Support treatment planning and dosimetry for photon and electron radiation therapy.
• Perform calibration, quality assurance and performance monitoring of radiation therapy equipment, including linear accelerators, CT simulation and HDR brachytherapy systems.
• Support stereotactic radiotherapy and brachytherapy programs.
• Participate in equipment selection, acceptance testing, commissioning and implementation of new technologies and treatment techniques.
• Provide clinical physics expertise and radiation safety guidance to physicians and other members of the radiation oncology team.
• Develop and maintain quality control programs supporting patient dosimetry and treatment delivery.
• Stay current with emerging technologies and advances in therapeutic medical physics and contribute to education and clinical program development.

Qualifications

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Medical Physics required.
• Completion of a medical physics residency.
• Approximately 5 years of post-residency experience preferred; candidates with 3+ years of post-residency experience are encouraged to apply.
• Board Certification by the American Board of Radiology in Therapeutic Radiological Physics .
• Clinical experience within radiation oncology.
• Strong knowledge of radiation therapy, treatment planning, dosimetry, radiation safety and associated technologies.
• A collaborative mindset, strong communication skills and an interest in continued professional growth and learning.

Schedule & Locations

This is a day-shift position that is primarily onsite, with approximately 20% remote flexibility . Approximately 50% of onsite time will be spent at an affiliated outpatient location in Broomall, PA, with the remaining onsite time based at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center located on the Newark campus in Newark, DE.

Because medical physics supports patient care and clinical operations, occasional late-afternoon, evening, night or weekend coverage may be needed based on operational and patient-care needs.

Why ChristianaCare?

You'll join a multidisciplinary cancer care team where physicists are valued clinical partners and have opportunities to contribute to advanced treatment techniques, technology implementation, quality and safety, education and the continued development of radiation oncology services.

If you are an experienced Medical Physicist-or a post-residency physicist ready to continue developing your expertise in a collaborative environment-we invite you to bring your talents to ChristianaCare.

ChristianaCare offers a comprehensive and competitive benefits package, including:

• Day-one medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Retirement plans including 403(b) and defined contribution options
