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

The major criterion for appointment as Clinician Educators is excellence in the overall mix of clinical care, teaching, administrative and/or scholarship appropriate to the programmatic need the individual is expected to fulfill. The Clinician Educator line is characterized by the primary focus on clinical care (generally, 90% or more effort). CE candidates are to show initiative and commitment in their clinical and teaching roles. Involvement in departmental translational research initiatives would be strongly encouraged.

Academic rank will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.

The successful candidate for this position will support the Mevion S250Fit proton therapy platform as well as other clinical physics services in Stanford Hospital and Clinics. Knowledge and clinical experience in proton radiotherapy is required. Additionally, all candidates will be expected to participate in the clinical responsibilities of the Radiation 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. Knowledge and experience in IT related tasks is preferred.

The department operates a wide range of state-of-the-art equipment across multiple sites, 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. Additionally, the department has two PET/CT simulators and a 3T MRI simulator. Treatment planning systems include the Accuray Precision, RaySearch Raystation and Varian Eclipse systems, integrated with the ARIA patient information system. The brachytherapy service (HDR and LDR) 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 division’s clinical coverage requirements, the candidates will be expected to provide coverage across 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 Stanford Cancer Center Palo Alto practice has been fully accredited by ASTRO’s APEx – Accreditation Program for Excellence.

About Stanford University

Located between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford University is recognized as one of the world's leading research and teaching institutions. Leland and Jane Stanford founded the University to "promote the public welfare by exercising an influence on behalf of humanity and civilization." Stanford opened its doors in 1891, and more than a century later, it remains dedicated to finding solutions to the great challenges of the day and to preparing students for leadership in a complex world. The University's thriving diverse community is comprised of nearly 7000 undergraduate students, 9000 graduate students, 2000 faculty members, 1900 postdoctoral scholars, and over 11,000 academic and administrative staff in seven schools including several interdisciplinary research centers and institutes. The campus spreads over 8000 contiguous acres and nearly all undergraduates live on campus. Stanford offers bachelor's and master's degrees in addition to doctoral degrees (PhD, MD, DMA and JD) plus a number of professional and continuing education programs and certifications.
