Job description

Employment Status:Full timeShift:Day (United States of America)Facility:2013 S Jefferson St - RoanokeRequisition Number:R159888 Junior Proton Physicist- days (Open) How You'll Help Transform Healthcare:Up to $30,000 new hire sign on bonus and up to $7,000 in relocation assistance is available:
Carilion Clinic currently seeks a medical physicist to support proton therapy in its new, state-of-the-art Cancer Center. Upon completion, the Taubman Cancer Center, rising on the Roanoke VA campus, will house 3 Varian TrueBeam LINACs, a CyberKnife, an HDR unit, a new Siemens CTSim, as well as a Mevion 250i proton therapy unit. The expectation for this role is solely rooted in proton therapy as the program ramps up, with integration into the larger therapy department likely over time.
The clinic is currently in the early stages of assessment and budgeting for all associated proton therapy RTP, QA, and treatment device needs. We would like to fill this position quickly so that new hires can play an active role in the adoption of proton therapy.
The candidates will join a Physics Department team consisting of 6 physicists (therapy and diagnostic), 3 dosimetrists, 2 physics assistants and a LINAC engineer. Besides supporting the Radiation Oncology Department and the three associated physicians, the Physics Department is actively involved in Y90 infusions, GammaTile implants and a theranostics program which has recently adopted voxel based dosimetry, as well as leading radiation safety throughout the 7 hospital system.
Applicants are invited to come be part of something big happening in the Roanoke Valley. The new Cancer Center is scheduled to open its doors for patient treatments beginning in January of 2028, with proton therapy to arrive soon afterwards. Roanoke is a mid-sized metropolitan area nestled in Virginia's Blue Ridge mountains. Cost of living is more favorable than many other areas of the country and it truly is a great place to raise a family. Outdoor recreation abounds and other entertainment options such as minor league sports, music festivals and various cultural events are plentiful.
