Job Description Department    37303 Atrium Health Cabarrus - Oncology:
Radiation    Status    Full time    Benefits Eligible    Yes    Hours Per Week    40    Schedule Details/Additional Information    As needed to cover clinical responsibilities    This position is Sign-on Bonus eligible. Based on eligibility.
Pay Range    $99.75 - $159.60    Interested applicants are invited to join Atrium Health Levine Cancer’s physics practice working alongside a dynamic care team.  Atrium Health Levine Cancer (AHLC) provides patients with access to nationally renowned physicians and state-of-the-art treatments at 25+ cancer care locations across the Carolinas, including 10 radiation therapy centers in the Greater Charlotte, NC area.
Atrium Health is recruiting a staff Medical Physicist to support clinical services at our Northern Area radiation therapy clinics (AHLC Cabarrus, AHLC Stanly and AHLC University City). These facilities collectively feature 2 Varian Truebeams (Cabarrus), one Varian Clinac iX (University) and one Trilogy linac (Stanly), all with Surface Image Guidance setup and motion management systems. The treatment planning system is Varian Eclipse (v16.1) and ARIA is the oncology EMR.

Each clinic has a CT scanner to support clinical simulations    The interested candidate would join a team of 5 other medical physicists, 5 dosimetrists and 4 physicians dedicated to supporting the Northern Area clinics. Atrium Health’s Charlotte clinics are home to 50+ physicists, dosimetrists and medical physics assistants dedicated to supporting external beam and modalities across our network.
The 7 other Greater Charlotte-region Atrium Health Levine Cancer Radiation Therapy clinics are equipped with CT Simulators (GE/Philips), as well as Varian treatment planning (Eclipse v16.1), EMR (ARIA 15.6/16.1) and Clinac/True Beam treatment delivery systems, with one clinic equipped with Ray Station (v2023B) TPS, Mosaiq EMR and an Elekta Infinity linear accelerator. AHLC’s Charlotte-area clinics have active SBRT and SRS programs and employ Surface Image Guidance Technology in all facilities.

Our network of clinics also includes the Proton and Advanced Radiation Therapy Center which features the 2-state region’s only proton beam delivery system, Gamma Knife-based SRS and an active radiopharmaceutical therapy program. MIM Maestro image management software including AI contouring tools is also utilized. A full complement of QA tools and technologies are available. Active clinical projects include knowledge-based planning techniques, AI contouring, clinical implementation of Cherenkov radiation in radiotherapy and QA standardization using a cloud-based platform.
Additionally, our Charlotte area clinics currently host trainees from the Carolinas College of Health Sciences in radiation therapy and medical dosimetry. Physicists also serve as mentors in the joint Atrium Health/Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist CAMPEP-approved medical physics residency program. In 2025, the Charlotte campus of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine opened with its inaugural class of medical students.

It is anticipated that opportunities for academic faculty physicist roles will be available to interested and appropriate candidates.
Interested candidates will join a collaborative environment where physicists work across facilities on projects impacting patients' network-wide.
Major Responsibilities    
• Performs delivery of non-standard, standard and complicated treatment planning and techniques which may include high dose radiation (HDR), low dose radiation (LDR) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Performs radiation surveys of patients exposed to radioactive sources; regularly performs radiation surveys of treatment rooms. …
