Job description

Job Opening – Medical Physicist – Anchorage, AK

Join our Northwest Medical Physics Center (NMPC) clinical team in beautiful Alaska! We have an opening for a board-eligible or board-certified medical physicist (DABR/CCPM) to join two other physicists and a physics resident in covering the main clinic in Anchorage and a satellite. The opening is due to a staff member leaving to help care for a family member. Anchorage, with a metropolitan population of 400,000, has numerous opportunities. Outdoor activities include hiking, fishing, boating, fat‑tire biking, and breathtaking vistas. Cultural activities include adult and youth symphonies, theater with Broadway shows, a Center for the Performing Arts. Sports include hockey, baseball, rugby, and of course dog sled racing. Four higher‑education facilities, including the University of Alaska, provide additional enrichment.

The technology includes two Elekta Versalinacs, a GammaKnife, and HDR afterloader on the main campus, plus one Elekta linac with 6FFF in a satellite clinic 35 miles away. The site uses MOSAIQ and all linacs have C‑Rad for surface guidance. The clinic is switching to RayStation in September and has RadFormation products. Physics equipment also includes access to a catalog of NMPC‑owned scanning tanks, motion phantoms, IC profiler, chambers, etc. The contract allows the physicists to assist with other NMPC activities, such as commissioning, if desired.
