Medical Physicist (Therapy)

University of Vermont Health Network•Burlington, VT

6d•$88 - $132•Hybrid

About The Position

The Division of Medical Physics at The University of Vermont Medical Center is seeking a board-certified or board-eligible therapeutic medical physicist to join our group. This position will provide clinical service to the Network Department of Radiation Oncology. The UVM Medical Center is located on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain. Radiation Oncology at the UVMMC occupies a LEED certified space with an abundance of natural light, three linacs, and HDR, CT simulator, and active special procedure programs. Other sites in the UVM Health system include Central Vermont Medical Center (Berlin, VT), Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (Plattsburgh, NY), and Alice Hyde Medical Center (Malone, NY). Our health system is in the implementation phase of a major technology transition, including the installation of modern Varian linear accelerators and cloud-based Aria and Eclipse systems. This role primarily supports UVMMC on-site, but as we integrate across our health system, there may be limited travel to our partner sites. Our group and the organization value work life balance. The Division of Medical Physics works to fulfill our academic mission through research and educational support of the Radiology Residency Program, the Cardiology Fellowship Program, and the Department of Medical Laboratory and Radiation Sciences. Work to add medical physics residency programs in Radiation Therapy Physics and a joint Diagnostic Imaging/Nuclear Medicine residency is under way. As we share a campus with our partners at the UVM Larner College of Medicine, candidates holding the PhD and having a track record of academic productivity and interest, may be considered for faculty track. Our group is actively engaged in resident education, clinical trials implementation and support, and there is potential opportunity to teach undergraduates. Our physicists are highly involved in national and international societies and initiatives, serving on and chairing numerous committees. These efforts are supported as part of the mission of our institution.

Requirements

MS, DMP, or PhD in medical physics required.
