Certified Medical Physicist (Ph.D or M.S.) - Dallas Sammons Cancer Center

Texas Oncology is seeking a full-time, team-oriented Certified Medical Physicist (Ph.D or M.S.) to join our regional group of six radiation oncology centers located in the Dallas metroplex. This position will primarily be based at the Charles A. Sammons Baylor Cancer Center practice site. The successful candidate should have a current ABR certification or in the process of obtaining certification, eligible for a Texas state license for medical physics and have working experience in a clinical environment.

Facilities and Equipment:

The Charles A. Sammons Baylor Cancer Center location is a busy practice that provides a full range of radiation therapy procedures, including SRS, SBRT, TBI, TSET, HDR, LDR (prostate seed implants) and radiopharmaceuticals (Xofigo and Lutathera). Equipment in use at this location includes a Varian TrueBeam, 2 Varian Clinacs (Novalis TX and 21iX), GE CT, Bravos HDR afterloader, Mosaiq R&V, Eclipse, iPlan, MME, BrachyVision and VariSeed TPS. The fully staffed team includes 3 Radiation Oncologists, 3 ABR Certified physicists, 3 Certified Medical dosimetrists, 7 Radiation Therapists and 1 Chief Therapist.

This practice site is part of the Dallas region which consists of 6 radiation oncology centers supported by a total of 10 Medical Physicists and 10 Radiation Oncologists. While each center is operationally independent, the physics staff collaborate on special projects and assist each other as needed; coordinated by a regional Chief Physicist. In addition to external beam therapy (3D, IMRT and VMAT), there are active SBRT programs at 5 centers, HDR programs at 5 centers, TBI programs at 2 centers, radiopharmaceuticals at 3 centers, a CyberKnife program at 1 location and a CAMPEP accredited physics residency program based at 1 location.

As an integral part of Texas Oncology, you will appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with other network physicists eager to share their expertise. Texas Oncology provides many vendor webinars, journal club and opportunities to serve on physics' committees.
