Description

The Division of Medical Physics at Baylor Scott and White Health, Department of Radiation Oncology, is seeking a full-time therapeutic medical physicist in Radiation Therapy, with a minimum of an MS, DMP, or PhD (all considered for one position), to join our team and support clinical operations at the Baylor Scott and White Medical Center in Temple, Texas. This position involves working alongside 3 PhD-level physicists and 5 MS-level physicists across 4 clinics in Central Texas: Temple, Killeen, Waco, and College Station.

This is a clinical position with a hybrid remote/on-site work model at the Temple and Killeen clinics, with the expectation to cover other clinics as needed. The clinics are equipped with 5 Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators, 2 Varian Varisource, 1 Elekta Flexitron, and 5 CT simulators.

The successful candidate will be responsible for physics support in the clinic and collaborating with the radiation oncology team to provide high-quality clinical service. Primary responsibilities include:

1. Performing, evaluating, and managing quality assurance testing of treatment-related machines and systems (linear accelerators, brachytherapy, CT, treatment planning systems).
2. Performing and supervising radiation treatments requiring a medical physicist’s presence.
3. Supervising and evaluating computer-aided planning and calculations for radiation treatments.
4. Conducting patient dosimetric measurements to evaluate treatment quality.
5. Providing consultation to radiation oncologists, clinical staff, and patients as needed.
