Position description

The UCLA Department of Radiation Oncology is recruiting a highly motivated individual for a medical physicist faculty position as an Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor, rank commensurate on experience. This appointment is under the Health Sciences Clinical Professor series.

Primary responsibilities include providing high-quality clinical physics support across all areas of radiation oncology practice, including treatment planning, IMRT, IGRT, machine commissioning and quality assurance, brachytherapy, and related clinical physics duties. The candidate will also participate in the teaching and supervision of medical physics residents in the CAMPEP-accredited UCLA Radiation Oncology Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program, as well as graduate students in the UCLA Physics and Biology in Medicine Ph.D. Program.

Candidates with exceptional clinical expertise and a strong commitment to patient care are especially encouraged to apply.

Applicants must possess a PhD degree or equivalent to apply and must be board certified by the ABR or ABMP or have graduated from a CAMPEP-accredited therapy physics residency program by the time of hire.

UCLA Health is the #1 rated Hospital in California and is nationally recognized on the honor role by U.S. News and World Report. The Department of Radiation Oncology offers innovative radiation treatment options across all service lines. Our unique clinical department is recognized nationally for cutting-edge research and technology in the treatment of all types of malignancies. Our innovative approach in the treatment of various malignancies is a complement to our medical physics and radiation biology divisions.

The Department of Radiation Oncology currently has four sites : a main campus equipped with three conventional linear accelerators (Varian TrueBeam, Novalis Tx, and TomoTherapy HD) and the ViewRay MRI-guided IMRT linear-accelerator-based MRIdian system; a second campus in Santa Monica equipped with Varian TrueBeam and Varian STx accelerators; a third campus in Santa Clarita with a Varian Ethos; and a fourth campus in downtown Los Angeles with a Varian EX. The main campus recently installed a Siemens Drive Dual-Source CT simulator and Siemens Sola 1.5T MR simulator. The physics group supports an active Brachytherapy program that employs Varian and Elekta HDR systems and the Airo TruCT portable CT scanner. EBRT treatment Planning systems include Eclipse, iPlan, TomoTherapy, Brainlab Elements, and ViewRay supported with MIM and ARIA record-and-verify.
