Assistant or Associate Professor (FRIS # 03-317-199): The Department of Radiation Oncology, at the University of Maryland School of Medicine is recruiting for a faculty Medical Physicist at the Assistant / Associate Professor, non-tenure track level. Candidates must have a PhD in medical physics, engineering, or related physical science and must have ABR board certification in therapeutic medical physics. The expected rank for this position will be Assistant Professor or higher; however, final rank and tenure status will be commensurate with selected candidate’s experience and track record. The successful candidate will join our existing team of dedicated Medical Physics faculty and work primarily at the University of Maryland Medical Center and the Baltimore Veterans Administration Medical Center. They will be responsible for clinical duties such as quality assurance, machine maintenance and calibration, patient treatment planning and treatment support, as well as technology and workflow optimization and implementation. Active participation is also expected in education of residents/ trainees and in clinical innovation and translation. The Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland provides a full range of clinical services across a total of eight sites across the state of Maryland. All practice sites are connected via a telemedicine network facilitating frequent interactions between facilities. Services provided include proton therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery/ radiotherapy, brachytherapy (low- and high-dose), and thermal therapy (hyperthermia). The Department is currently equipped with state-of-the-art equipment including 7 Varian TrueBeam, 3 Varian Trilogy, 1 Varian Clinac IX, 1 Varian TrueBeam Edge, 1 BSD 500 (superficial thermal therapy unit), 1 BSD 2000 (deep thermal therapy unit), 1 Gammaknife, 1 GammaPod, 4 HDR units, and 7 multi-slice large-bore CT simulators with 4D capabilities. We also have a dedicated decommissioned Clinac for electron FLASH studies. The department has access to clinical PET/CT and MR scanners in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. Campus-wide shared resources include small-animal imaging CT, PET, and MR scanners. The Medical Physics team is led by Dr. Amit Sawant, Vice Chair of Physics, and has 29 medical physics faculty, 25 dosimetrists, 3 physics residents, and 7 information systems and technology staff. Research programs include the development of advanced treatment planning and delivery techniques, real-time respiratory motion management, functionally-guided radiation therapy, prompt-gamma imaging, dual-energy CT, AI applications in radiation therapy, including radiomics and radiogenomics, and electron and proton FLASH radiotherapy. Medical physics research space is co-located with our precision radiotherapy and radiobiology research division in order to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and team science.
