Faculty Physicist positions, Radiotherapy Physics Division, Department of Medical Physics | Memorial Sloan

The people of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are united by a singular mission: ending cancer for life. Our specialized care teams provide personalized, compassionate, expert care to patients of all ages. Informed by basic research done at our Sloan Kettering Institute, scientists across MSK collaborate to conduct innovative translational and clinical research that is driving a revolution in our understanding of cancer as a disease and improving the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat it.

MSK is dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and clinicians, who go on to pursueour missionat MSK and around the globe.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is one of the world’s premier cancer centers, committed to exceptional patient care, leading-edge research, and superb educational programs. Blending research with patient care is at the heart of everything we do. The institution is a comprehensive cancer center whose purposes are cancer treatment and control, advancing biomedical knowledge through laboratory and clinical research, and training scientists, physicians, and other healthcare workers.

The Division of Radiotherapy Physics within the Department of Medical Physics has two opportunities available at the Assistant or Associate Attending Physicist level (equivalent to Assistant or Associate Professor) to support radiation oncology physics services at the MSK Manhattan facilities.

One position focuses on providing routine clinical support in brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy, as well as the implementation of novel technologies and procedures, particularly in brachytherapy. Prior experience in brachytherapy, clinical software development and machine learning is preferred but not required. One position focuses on providing routine clinical support in external beam radiation therapy and the implementation of novel technologies and procedures, particularly in the areas of motion management and IGRT.We

are particularly interested in candidates experienced in IGRT, motion management, and automation, as well as candidates interested in clinical software development and machine learning techniques in radiotherapy. A significant contribution to our clinical research and development activities is expected.

Located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan External beam Equipment: 1 Varian Accela linac, 1 Elekta Unity 1.5T MR-linac, 2 Varian Ethos adaptive linacs, 2 Varian Edge linacs, 6 Varian Truebeam linacs, 1 Xstrahl superficial radiotherapy unit, 2 Siemens and 1 Philips CT simulators, 1 Siemens PET/CT, 2 Philips 3T MR simulators dedicated to radiation oncology procedures, and state-of-the-art inter- and intrafractional imaging and motion management capabilities.

Brachytherapy program: equipment includes 3 Varian Bravos afterloaders and one Papillon+ brachytherapy unit. Dedicated facilities include a brachytherapy procedure room for HDR and LDR procedures with CT and ultrasound capabilities and access to MRI; a treatment room for non-procedural HDR treatments; and two additional operating rooms for other brachytherapy procedures and IORT. The brachytherapy team also supports busy eye plaque and brain LDR programs.

The MSK brachytherapy program treats more than 700 patients per year.

The Manhattan physics team comprises over 75 staff, including faculty-level physicists, MS physicists, and dosimetrists.

We embrace the OneMSK philosophy. MSK Manhattan is integrated seamlessly into our broader MSK network. We provide the same high standard of care and contribute to fundamental and translational research, working in harmony with all MSK facilities.

MSK has a large, cutting-edge program in all aspects of radiation oncology physics…
