Job description

Overview

Due to program growth, Carle Foundation Hospital is excited to add another Radiation Oncologist to Carle Cancer Institute in Urbana, Illinois. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to practice both external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy. Training and interest in High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy for gynecological cancers are a plus; however, performing HDR brachytherapy is not required for this position.

Opportunity Details

Candidates with experience and new graduates are welcome to apply. Mentorship for new graduates will be provided. The practice includes 3 external beam radiation units (Varian True Beam® with micro‑MLCs for stereotactic radiation and regular MLCs for conventionally fractionated radiation) and a Nucletron HDR Brachytherapy Unit (Flexitron®). Large bore GE CT simulator and PET/CT are available on site.

The practice offers a variety of external beam treatment options: 3D, IMRT with Rapid Arc®, SRS, SRT, and SBRT. Active lung SBRT and gynecological HDR brachytherapy programs are in place. EPIC electronic medical record, ARIA radiation oncology record, and Eclipse treatment planning software are utilized. Staff includes 2.6 FTE medical physicists, 4 medical dosimetrists, and 8 radiation therapists.

The Radiation Oncologist will participate in a generous compensation package within a stable, vertically integrated Carle Health System, with a multi‑disciplinary environment that includes weekly Quality Assurance Radiation Oncology Conference (Chart Round), disease‑site specific Tumor Boards, and strong support from Medical Oncology and all Surgical Services. In 2018, Carle and the University of Illinois opened doors to the first medical student class at the new Carle Illinois College of Medicine. An academic appointment will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Teaching medical students and residents is a job expectation.

Carle Cancer Institute has strong clinical cancer research with a National Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and currently >100 open clinical trials for cancer patients in East Central Illinois. For candidates with a strong academic background, a research component will be considered. The Institute also collaborates closely with the University of Illinois Basic Science Cancer Center.
