Job description
Department Overview

The Department of Radiation Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is seeking a dynamic and experienced medical physicist for a faculty leadership role as Clinical Physics Operations Manager (CPOM). This position oversees the day-to-day clinical operations of the medical physics team, ensuring safe, effective, and high-quality delivery of radiation therapy across our academic and community sites.

This role provides day-to-day operational leadership for the clinical physics team and serves as a key liaison between physics and other clinical disciplines. The role combines clinical experience in radiation physics with strong leadership skills, communication, knowledge of departmental policy/procedure/job aids, and continuous quality improvement skills. The CPOM partners with radiation oncologists, nurses, and radiation therapists to coordinate workflows, standardize practice, and support clinical excellence. The role also periodically represents the Vice Chair of Physics in providing oversight for technology implementation, quality assurance programs, and continuous improvement efforts aligned with departmental goals and regulatory requirements.

This is the largest single donation ever made to a US university or academic medical center, aimed at transforming the future of cancer care. This transformative investment will accelerate leading-edge research, expand access to care, and open new doors for faculty to impact the future of oncology.

Join us in advancing patient care, education, and innovation at Oregon's only academic health center.
