Qualified candidates must have a Ph.D. in Medical Physics or related field of study pertinent to 
medical physics and be board eligible/certified. For the Associate level, a demonstrated ability 
to obtain extramural funding is highly desirable. The successful candidate will be expected to 
participate and/or provide significant leadership in the advanced clinical and research programs 
in image-guided IMRT and VMAT, SBRT, radiosurgery, brachytherapy, in vivo dosimetry, and 
informatics infrastructure development. The successful candidate will also be expected to teach 
in our medical physics courses for physician and physics residents, as well as contribute to 
continuing medical education efforts for our staff.
The radiation oncology department is located in the NCI Designated Comprehensive Cancer 
Center in Sacramento, California. We have full-member status with the NRG-Radiation Therapy 
Oncology Group, an ACGME accredited physician residency training program, and CAMPEP 
accreditation for our medical physics residency program. There are research affiliations with 
the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, UC Davis Department of Biomedical Engineering, 
Sutter Medical Foundation, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and potential 
relationships with Cancer Center Network sites.
Our downtown facility has two matched Elekta Versa linacs with Agility MLC, a TomoTherapy 
Radixact, and a GammaKnife ICON all managed by the Elekta Mosaiq EMR system. Treatment 
planning is performed with Raystation treatment planning system. Ancillary systems include

sections 30305(a)(5), 30312(b)(4), and 30312(b)(5).
Teaching experience:
The department offers a CAMPEP accredited residency in clinical radiation therapy physics and 
participation in teaching within the training program is expected of all physics faculty. Each year 
a 50+ lecture series on radiation therapy physics is offered to medical students, residents, and 
fellows on a wide range of topics in medical physics in accordance with the syllabus 
recommended by the American Board of Radiology and CAMPEP. Lecturers include faculty from 
within Radiation Oncology, Radiology, Biomedical Engineering, School of Veterinary Medicine, 
and guest lecturers from other institutions. Written, oral, and mock exams are offered by the 
faculty for training purposes in addition to clinical rotations with the residents that may include 
participation in clinical research projects, typically involving technology development within the 
clinics established and emerging programs.
Research Experience:
This position is predominately clinical and teaching focused, however, there is ample

NRG Oncology clinical trials, and several of the faculty have funded research from both public 
and industry sources. Research opportunities within the department will be enhanced in 2025-
26 with new technology including a TomoTherapy Radixact system with Synchrony real-time 
motion management. Clinical plans include a new Varian Edge machine to be installed for our 
expanding SRS-SBRT programs.
Administrative Experience:
Effective communication skills, success in working in a collaborative environment, and 
demonstrated experience in adhering to policies and procedures are important aspects of this
