We are seeking applicants with a track record that demonstrates academic and clinical excellence, including clinical practice and project participation, collaboration, and leadership, as well as research productivity and commitment to educational service. The incumbent must have a broad skill set that includes spot scanning proton beam therapy. A proven track record of successfully leading groups or projects is highly desirable. Successful candidates will have responsibility for and participate in all aspects of procedure and QA development and clinical coverage for proton therapy. The candidate will be expected to participate in educational activities and lead and publish peer reviewed research. The applicant will also be expected to submit a brief (<1000 words) research proposal. The research proposal should summarize the candidate’s research interests, goals, qualifications, potential for funding, and vision for synergistic collaboration with the other members of the Department of Radiation Oncology. Preference will be given to those candidates who have interests and qualifications consistent with key clinical, research and innovation initiatives including proton adaptive therapy and proton treatment planning. Facility and Equipment: The Radiation Oncology Medical Physics Division currently has 23 faculty medical physicists, 43 staff clinical medical physicists, 9 residents/fellows, 5 medical physicist assistants, along with several engineers and IT support. The Division is a seasoned and cohesive team responsible for all aspects of therapy medical physics in support of clinical practice, education and research in radiation oncology in Rochester and at 5 satellite facilities. The Medical Physics Division is noted for research in image guided radiation therapy, clinical application of advanced imaging modalities, radiomics, quality and safety, treatment delivery dosimetry and verification, development of novel treatment technologies, advances in brachytherapy, Monte Carlo techniques, particle therapy treatment planning and beam delivery, radiobiology and outcomes-informatics. Equipment in our Department includes 15 Varian Truebeam/Ethos/Edge linacs including three with Hypersight, a Gamma Knife ICON, GE and Siemens CT simulators with wide bore and 4D capability, a 3T MRI, VariSource and Bravos HDR afterloaders, Varian Brachyvision for HDR planning, Variseed for LDR planning, XStrahl Orthovoltage, IntraOp Mobetron, Eclipse, ARIA and a full complement of dosimetry and detector systems for photon, proton and brachytherapy. Photon treatment procedures include all conventional radiation therapy modalities plus special procedures that include IORT, TBI, TSET, HDR, SRS, SBRT, SFRT, BH, Ethos online adaptive, Direct-to-unit, Orthovoltage, LDR and IVBT treating over 5000 patients per year with incremental photon vaults planned to accommodate practice growth. The proton center contains a Hitachi synchrotron-based 4 half-gantry plus single fixed beam treatment system, treating over 1200 patients per year within an approximately 100,000 square foot facility adjacent to our photon radiation oncology department. The proton beam is 100% spot scanning with orthogonal kV-based imaging, Siemens CT-on-rails and VisionRT for localization and verification. A 2 full-gantry proton expansion project with a second accelerator is underway. Mayo Clinic is an integrated, multidisciplinary academic medical center and supports a vibrant and diverse research enterprise.
