The Physics Division of the Department of Radiation Oncology at Michigan Medicine is recruiting a medical physicist for a clinical physics faculty position. 

We are searching for a community focused academic clinical medical physicist who is interested in joining our team of over 20 faculty and staff physicists. The primary directive of this faculty role is community practice network outreach and support. The Department of Radiation Oncology supports statewide clinics in 10 locations including our main campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  We have a small team that focuses on supporting the community network sites with standardization, quality assurance, remote and in-person coverage, accreditation preparation and maintenance, project organization, and consulting on various equipment and clinical issues.  Our community outreach team also organizes regular group meetings, retreats, and educational seminars and maintains a database of equipment, software and staffing at all sites.  The proposed clinical effort for this role is 90% with 10% academic time although these percentages can vary depending on the chosen candidate.  Clinical effort will include the community outreach activities noted above as well as participation in our comprehensive physics quality assurance program, coverage of brachytherapy and special procedures, and physics involvement in IGRT, SBRT, and treatment planning.  Clinical effort also includes participation in our educational mission through teaching in our medical physics and radiation oncology residency programs.  Academic time includes clinical research and program development that advances the department and division mission as well as academic teaching.  An ideal candidate would also provide service to the department and university through committee and special project involvement. 

Michigan Medicine improves the health of patients, populations and communities through excellence in education, patient care, community service, research and technology development, and through leadership activities in Michigan, nationally and internationally. Our mission is guided by our Strategic Principles and has three critical components; patient care, education and research that together enhance our contribution to society.

The selected applicant will be a contributor and leader within our community practice outreach team and participate in general clinical physics practice and provide didactic and practical teaching and training for multiple learners.  A successful candidate will also participate in ongoing and/or new clinical development initiatives.  Current division development areas include, but are not limited to: online adaptive therapy, 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.

Masters or Ph.D. from a CAMPEP accredited medical physics program OR a Ph.D. or equivalent in Physics, Medical Physics, or related field with completion of a CAMPEP approved residency training program in Radiation Oncology Physics.  Board Certified or Board Eligible by the American Board of Radiology. Evidence of clinical competence and didactic teaching is also expected.

Significant aptitudes for the use of: treatment delivery, calibration and quality assurance equipment; anatomic and physiological imaging devices; computerized treatment planning; patient management and safety.  To be able to support our HDR and IVBT programs, it is desirable that the candidate is an Authorized Medical Physicist (AMP). 

Positions that are eligible for hybrid or mobile/remote work mode are at the discretion of the hiring department. Work agreements are reviewed annually at a minimum and are subject to change at any time, and for any reason, throughout the course of employment. Learn more about the work modes.
