Radiation Therapy Medical Physicist

Would you like to be part of a team of colleagues who employ pioneering, innovative techniques to design and deliver treatment that improves cancer patient outcomes while minimizing side effects?  Do you have a passion for the highest quality and patient happiness? Then please respond to this dynamic opportunity available with one of the best places to work in Southern California! We would be happy to hear from you. 

The Cedars-Sinai Department of Radiation Oncology in Los Angeles, California is recruiting for a Faculty Radiation Oncology Physicist position at its Radiation Oncology Affiliate sites, including Tarzana and Pasadena, CA.

Cedars-Sinai is a nationally recognized leader in comprehensive clinical cancer care, research, and post-graduate medical education including Radiation Oncology and Medical Physics residency programs.

The combined departments include six linear accelerators with VMAT, SBRT, SRS, and IGRT capabilities, two HDR brachytherapy afterloaders, two superficial treatment units, three 4D CT-simulators, real-time motion management systems, multi-modality deformable imaging/treatment planning systems and oncology information systems. Over 3000 new patients are treated each year at Cedars-Sinai Radiation Oncology Departments.

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic group of physicists whose responsibilities include: 

• Staff and resident education 
• Clinical and machine quality control
• Participation in the departments’ expanding academic and translational research efforts, including novel clinical trials and implementation of advanced clinical treatment techniques
