Discover Your Career at Emory University

Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the excellence of our academic community.

DescriptionThe Department of Radiation Oncology of the Emory University School of Medicine is recruiting  for a full-time proton physicist faculty position at the Assistant, Associate, or Professor level under the guidance of the Director of Medical Physics. Emory's Department of Radiation Oncology serves multiple clinical institutions in the Atlanta metropolitan area, including the Emory Proton Therapy Center, which offers pencil beam scanning and is one of the busiest large proton centers in the country, as well as the Emory University Hospital Clifton, Winship Cancer Institute at Emory Midtown, Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital, Grady Hospital, and Emory Decatur Hospital. It is an integral part of Winship, a National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, and is deeply integrated into multidisciplinary cancer care delivery. The department treats over 4,000 patients annually. Highlights of the technology offered include 9 Varian linear accelerators, 1 Halcyon unit, 2 Elekta linear accelerators, a multi-room proton center, Gamma Knife, multiple brachytherapy HDR afterloaders, large bore CT scanners with 4D capabilities, and access to MR and PET scanners including two dedicated 1.5 T MRI scanners. All linear accelerators are IGRT (2D, 3D) and respiratory motion management equipped. The oncology information system is ARIA with treatment planning systems including Eclipse and RayStation. The department has grown in its clinical, teaching, and research activities in the past decade and includes internationally renowned leaders in each of these areas, with many faculty members holding substantial NIH and other grant funding, leading innovative multi center trials, and publishing extensively in the highest impact journals. There are currently more than 70 faculty members in the department's Divisions of Clinical Affairs, Cancer Biology, Medical Physics, and Health Services, Outcomes, and Policy. In addition, there is a fully accredited three-year training program for medical physics residents as well as a four-year training program for radiation oncology residents. Emory physics faculty also participate in Georgia Institute of Technology's medical physics education and research programs. The Medical Physics Division has a successful research program and has multiple investigators federally funded in areas including artificial intelligence and image-guided radiotherapy. Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent doctoral degree. Candidates must be ABR board-eligible, and certification in therapeutic radiological physics is preferred. The candidate is expected to support clinical services, participate in the education of medical physicist residents and medical residents, and conduct clinical and translational research. Applicants who have research interests that significantly contribute to the overall departmental academic effort are strongly encouraged to apply. Emory School of Medicine is a premier research institution, educational leader, and provider of cutting-edge patient-centered care with growing impact: we welcome those seeking to partner with us and elevate our mission to join us.Additional Details
