Assistant Professor or Associate Professor, Medical Physics

The Division of Radiation Physics in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Stanford University seeks a motivated medical physicist to
join the Division as an Assistant Professor or Associate Professor in the University Medical Line. We are particularly interested in
candidates who are ABR board-eligible or board certified, have a PhD, and a record of research in translational medical physics.


The major criteria for appointment for faculty in the University Medical Line (UML) 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.

The UML line is characterized by an allocation of effort to research, with the remaining effort
mostly allocated to clinical care and teaching (approximate allocations are 20% research, 70% clinical care, 10% teaching). The successful
applicant should possess a record of scholarly publications and presentations in medical physics; broad experience with diverse radiation
oncology hardware, software, and procedures; and a demonstrated interest in teaching. Excellent communication skills and critical thinking
are essential.

Faculty rank will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate. Appointment at
the Associate Professor level will be considered for applicants who have already established a research program with a successful track
record of obtaining research funding as principal investigator.

The department operates a wide range of state-of-the-art
equipment, including two Accuray CyberKnife systems, one RefleXion X1, one ViewRay MRIdian, one Mevion S250Fit proton therapy platform, and
three Varian TrueBeams at Palo Alto campus and 8 other linacs across 4 satellite clinics. Additionally, the department has two PET/CT
simulators and a 3T MRI simulator. In alignment with the division's clinical coverage requirements, the candidate will be expected to
provide coverage across all clinical groups.

The activities of the Division/Department are diverse, encompassing basic science and
translational research programs in Radiation Biology, Medical Physics, and Imaging. These programs offer unique opportunities for the
successful candidate to engage in high impact, interdisciplinary collaborations. In addition, the division operates CAMPEP-accredited
graduate, residency, and postdoctoral certification programs in medical physics. Notably, the Stanford Radiation Therapy practice is fully
accredited by ASTRO's APEx (Accreditation Program for Excellence), a distinction that reflects our commitment to the highest standards of
safety and quality in patient care.
