Summary

The Physics Division of the Department of Radiation Oncology at Michigan Medicine has a unique opportunity for an outstanding medical physicist.

We are looking for an individual who will be capable of serving in a clinical track faculty position with roles supporting our advanced infrastructure for individualized and adaptive treatment planning for external beam and radiopharmaceuticals. We are looking for someone with interest and skill in the following areas and/or roles:

• Advanced treatment planning algorithms supporting outcome-driven and function-guided RT
• Clinical trial and infrastructure development for both in silico and prospective trials
• Clinical data workflows, including deformable image registration, auto-segmentation and dose accumulation in support of online adaptive RT, reirradiation, and multi-modality therapies.
• Contribution to department and enterprise efforts to modernize IT infrastructure with a focus on maintaining stability and innovation across clinical services and academic initiatives

Responsibilities*

The selected applicant will participate in a variety of direct and indirect clinical service in support of the roles listed above.  A successful applicant will be involved in didactic and practical teaching and training for physics and medical residents, therapists and therapist students, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and other departmental staff.  It is expected that the candidate will participate in ongoing and/or new translational research and development initiatives.  Current division development areas include, but are not limited to: improving our ability to individualize radiation therapy towards improved patient outcomes, development of quantitative imaging approaches for treatment planning and response modeling; use of state of the art bioinformatics techniques to unify large and disparate data sets to develop realistic multiparameter models of tumor response and normal tissue injury; development and implementation of “big data” and artificial intelligence techniques that will permit us to continuously learn and adapt based on our own experience and others; novel treatment planning optimization and automation strategies; and improving our approaches toward safety and quality.

Required Qualifications*

• Ph.D. or equivalent in Physics, Medical Physics, or related field
• Formal training in a CAMPEP approved educational program such as a medical physics certificate, degree, or residency
• At least 1 year of post-doctoral experience in medical physics or a related field
• Experience working with advanced information technology systems

Desired Qualifications*

Board Certified or Board Eligible by the American Board of Radiology would be considered a plus, but is not required
