How much do dosimetry jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 6, 2026, the average hourly pay for dosimetry in the United States is $27.40, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $21.88 and $31.01 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in dosimetry, and why are they important?

To thrive in Dosimetry, you need a solid background in medical physics, radiation therapy principles, and a relevant degree such as a B.S. in physics or dosimetry, with many positions requiring certification from the Medical Dosimetrist Certification Board (MDCB). Familiarity with treatment planning systems, dosimetry calculation software, and imaging technologies is essential. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication with radiation oncologists and therapists are important soft skills. These skills ensure accurate, safe, and effective radiation treatment plans for patients in a multidisciplinary healthcare environment.

What is a typical workday like for a dosimetrist?

A typical workday for a dosimetrist involves collaborating closely with radiation oncologists and medical physicists to develop and optimize patient treatment plans. You will use specialized software to calculate the proper radiation dose and map it accurately to targeted areas, while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue. Daily responsibilities often include contouring patient anatomy using imaging data, performing quality assurance checks, and participating in multidisciplinary team meetings. Dosimetrists frequently interact with other clinical staff to ensure each patient’s treatment is tailored and safe, making teamwork and attention to detail key aspects of the role.

What is a dosimetry?

A dosimetry job involves measuring and calculating radiation doses to ensure safety in medical, industrial, or research settings. In healthcare, dosimetrists work with oncologists and medical physicists to plan radiation treatments for cancer patients. They use specialized software and imaging data to design effective treatment plans that maximize tumor targeting while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues. Dosimetrists must have a strong understanding of radiation physics, anatomy, and medical imaging.

Key Responsibilities
  • Clinical support: Support external beam radiotherapy physics operations, patient-specific QA review, and daily QA processes at Main Campus and Koch Center.
  • Treatment equipment QA: Independently perform and oversee routine and advanced QA for linear accelerators, CT simulators, and auxiliary systems; cross-calibrate dosimetry equipment.
  • QA systems and documentation: Maintain enterprise QA databases, workflows, datasets, clinical documentation, departmental files, and required QA/patient-plan records.
  • Commissioning and technique development: Lead or support Radiation Dosimetry Core projects, equipment/software commissioning, and evaluation of new QA technologies.
  • Training and mentorship: Conduct staff training, follow-ups, audits, and small-group learning sessions; communicate project updates and technical guidance to multidisciplinary teams.
  • Professional development: Maintain continuing education and participate in professional workshops, institutional lectures, departmental meetings, and in-service training.

Key Qualifications
  • Master's degree in Medical Physics, Physics, or related physical science.
  • Physicist I track: clinical experience including training; board certification and New York State license / New Jersey registration eligibility acceptable.
  • Physicist II track: 3-5+ years of post-residency or post-training clinical experience; ABR or equivalent certification; New York State Medical Physicist license and New Jersey registration or eligibility.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and technical documentation skills.
