Job Summary

The Physics Division of the Department of Radiation Oncology at Michigan Medicine is recruiting a medical physicist for a clinical physics faculty position.

We are searching for a community focused academic clinical medical physicist who is interested in joining our team of over 20 faculty and staff physicists. The primary directive of this faculty role is community practice network outreach and support. The Department of Radiation Oncology supports statewide clinics in 10 locations including our main campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We have a small team that focuses on supporting the community network sites with standardization, quality assurance, remote and in-person coverage, accreditation preparation and maintenance, project organization, and consulting on various equipment and clinical issues. Our community outreach team also organizes regular group meetings, retreats, and educational seminars and maintains a database of equipment, software and staffing at all sites. The proposed clinical effort for this role is 90% with 10% academic time although these percentages can vary depending on the chosen candidate. Clinical effort will include the community outreach activities noted above as well as participation in our comprehensive physics quality assurance program, coverage of brachytherapy and special procedures, and physics involvement in IGRT, SBRT, and treatment planning. Clinical effort also includes participation in our educational mission through teaching in our medical physics and radiation oncology residency programs. Academic time includes clinical research and program development that advances the department and division mission as well as academic teaching. An ideal candidate would also provide service to the department and university through committee and special project involvement.
