Multiple Assistant Professor Positions, Medical Physics, Radiation Oncology | Stanford University - Military Veterans

The Division of Radiation Physics in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Stanford University seeks two ABR board-eligible or board-certified medical physicists to join the Division as Assistant Professors in the University Medical Line. We are particularly interested in candidates who have a PhD and strong experience in translational medical physics research and clinical physics. The major criteria for appointment for faculty in the University Medical Line shall be excellence in the overall mix of clinical care, clinical teaching, scholarly activity that advances clinical medicine, and institutional service appropriate to the programmatic need the individual is expected to fulfill. Individuals appointed as Assistant Professors will have completed their house staff training and, where appropriate, postdoctoral fellowship training. They must demonstrate excellence or promise of excellence in the overall mix of contributions in clinical care, teaching and scholarly activity that advances clinical medicine appropriate to the programmatic need upon which the appointment will be based. There should be evidence that candidates have the promise to attain regional recognition for excellence in the overall mix of contributions. If these individuals have not had formal teaching experience, they should have demonstrated during their house staff and fellowship training a commitment to teaching, and they should have the potential to meet or exceed acceptable standards in teaching. We expect the successful candidates to be excellent researchers in translational medical physics, dedicated teachers, and outstanding medical physicists. Strong hands-on experience with clinical IT and computational infrastructure is a significant plus. Successful candidates will be expected to participate in the clinical responsibilities of the Physics Division and provide clinical medical physics services across all clinical sites. A strong sense of initiative and a commitment to excellence in clinical practice, research, and teaching are required. Additionally, excellent communication skills and critical thinking are essential. The department operates state-of-the-art equipment across multiple sites, including two Accuray CyberKnife systems, one RefleXion X1, one ViewRay MRIdian, and three VarianTrueBeams. Additionally, the department has two PET/CT simulators and a 3T MRI simulator. Treatment planning systems include the latest Accuray Precision and Varian Eclipse systems, integrated with the ARIA patient information system. The brachytherapy service is supported by Bravos systems with BrachyVision and Vitesse real-time planning. The department also utilizes a Mobetron IntraOp electron accelerator and a Morpheus IORT unit. Stanford Medicine operates four satellite clinics in the Bay Area, with a total of seven Varian TrueBeams. In alignment with the divisions clinical coverage requirements, the candidates will be expected to provide coverage across both satellite sites and all clinical groups. The activities of the Division/Department are diverse and include basic science and translational research programs in Radiation Biology, Radiation Physics, and Imaging, offering unique opportunities for the successful candidates to integrate into these research programs. The Department is tightly integrated into the medical school and university and leads a Radiation Biology research program within the Stanford Cancer Institute, a National Cancer Institute Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Stanford Cancer Center Palo Alto practice has been fully accredited by ASTROs APEx Accreditation Program for Excellence.
