It’s a transformational time to be a part of the University of Wisconsin! The Radiation Oncology Physics Section at the University of Wisconsin‑Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, Department of Human Oncology, is seeking a medical physicist to join our team of 24 physicists, 6 physics residents, and medical physics assistants. The successful candidate will participate in high‑level clinical development and application of radiation oncology imaging, treatment planning, and delivery systems to further high precision advancements in treatment options and patient care.

Our department is vibrant and growing with the Fall 2024 opening of our dual‑hub UW Health Cancer Center, Eastpark Medical Center location, located on Madison's east side. The 469,000 square foot state‑of‑the‑art facility and introduced two new Varian True Beams, and a Varian Edge, Elekta Flexitron Remote Afterloader coupled with Siemens multi‑energy CT on rails. While beyond the scope of the present , proton therapy via a Hitachi gantry room and fixed beam room with first‑of‑kind upright patient positioning system will be offered at the Eastpark location.

In addition to the services provided at our Eastpark location, the UW Health University campus currently includes a Viewray MRIdian Linac with daily online adaptive radiation therapy, three Varian True Beams (one STx), an Accu Ray Tomotherapy HDA, and two Elekta Flexitron Remote Afterloaders. We offer a broad range of special procedures, including SRS/SBRT, TBI, TSE, and brachytherapy for a wide range of treatment sites (e.g., GYN, breast, prostate) with MRI‑guided planning and Body Tom CT for image verification.
