Research Fellow - Radiation Oncology
About The Position
The Department of Radiation Oncology at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN invites applications for a two-year post-doctoral research fellowship in the Division of Medical Physics. The successful candidate will focus on development and testing of imaging tools for MRI-only radiotherapy workflows in upper abdomen, specifically: development and/or validation of 1) motion characterization and assessment tools using MRI (i.e., “4D-MRI”); 2) development and/or validation of novel synthetic CT. The project development team will include medical physicists, radiation oncologists, medical dosimetrists and informaticians; the selected individual will also collaborate directly with MRI scientists working in industry. This project also has a human subjects’ research component, with the successful candidate helping to support a Mayo Institutional Research Board-approved clinical pilot study. Thus, this project would provide a comprehensive foundation for launching a future career in medical physics, as well as in any related field.
