*/Assistant or Associate Professor (FRIS # 03-317-205)/**:*The Department of Radiation Oncology, at the University of Maryland School of Medicine is recruiting for a faculty Medical Physicist at the Assistant / Associate Professor, non-tenure track level at our community-based practice; theUniversity of Maryland Shore Regional Medical Center (UM-SRMC). Candidates must have a Ph.D. in medical physics, engineering, or related physical science and ABR board certification/eligibility in radiation oncology physics. Expected rank for this position will be Assistant Professor or higher; however, final rank and tenure status will be commensurate with selected candidate’s experience. The successful candidate will join our existing team of dedicated Medical Physics faculty and work at the Cancer Center at (UM-SRMC), located in Easton, Maryland. They will be responsible for clinical duties such as quality assurance, machine maintenance and calibration, patient treatment planning and treatment support, as well as technology and workflow optimization and implementation. Active participation is also expected in teach residents/trainees and are expected to actively engage in clinical innovation and translation. The UM-SRMC Radiation Oncology Center is equipped with two linear accelerator radiation treatment machines (Varian TrueBeam), High Dose Radiation (HDR) Unit (Varian BRAVOS system), one Siemens CT simulator (SOMATOM go.Open Pro). The Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland provides a full range of clinical services at the University of Maryland Medical Center and its well-integrated community programs, and the Maryland Proton Treatment Center. All practice sites are connected via a telemedicine network facilitating frequent interactions between facilities. Services provided include proton therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery/ radiotherapy, brachytherapy (low- and high-dose), and thermal therapy (hyperthermia). The Department is currently equipped with state-of-the-art equipment including 7 Varian TrueBeam, 3 Varian Trilogy, 1 Varian Clinac IX, 1 Varian TrueBeam Edge, 1 BSD 500 (superficial thermal therapy unit), 1 BSD 2000 (deep thermal therapy unit), 1 Gammaknife, 1 GammaPod, 4 HDR units, and 7 multi-slice large-bore CT simulators with 4D capabilities. We also have a dedicated research Linac for electron FLASH studies. The department has access to clinical PET/CT and MR scanners in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. Campus-wide shared resources include small-animal imaging CT, PET, and MR scanners. The Medical Physics team is led by Dr. Amit Sawant, Vice Chair of Physics, and has 29 medical physics faculty, 25 dosimetrists, 3 physics residents, and 7 information systems and technology staff. All practice sites are connected via a state-of-the-art telemedicine network facilitating interactions between faculty and staff. Research programs include the development of advanced treatment planning and delivery techniques, real-time respiratory motion management, functionally-guided radiation therapy, prompt-gamma imaging, dual-energy CT, AI applications in radiation therapy, including radiomics and radiogenomics, and electron and proton FLASH radiotherapy. Medical physics research space is co-located with our precision radiotherapy and radiobiology research to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and team science.
