The Department of Radiation Oncology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) is seeking a faculty therapeutic medical physicist at the Instructor, Assistant, Associate, Professor level, with the opportunity to affiliate with a clinical medical physics practice within the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC). HICCC is one of 71 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer
Centers, providing cancer care services throughout New York City, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley, and is dedicated to an integrated, patient-focused approach to cancer research, treatment, support, prevention, education, and outreach. Department Description The ACR-accredited Department of Radiation Oncology, which provides clinical medical physics services to three (3) clinics, is supported by nine (9)
board-certified medical physicists, three (3) board-certified on-site dosimetrists, and five (5) remote dosimetrists. Our main academic center, located at 168th St. in the Washington Heights neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan, is equipped with three (3) conventional linear accelerators: a Varian Trilogy, two (2) Varian TrueBeams, and a Varian Ethos, supporting a very busy online adaptive radiotherapy program.
All platforms provide IGRT via CBCT/kV and/or MV on-board imaging, and SGRT is facilitated via a newly installed LAP Luna system. The Department houses a wide variety of technologies supporting specialized procedures: an Elekta Esprit GammaKnife for framed and frameless intracranial radiosurgery, a Zeiss IntraBeam for intraoperative radiotherapy, and a Best Novoste for vascular brachytherapy. Elekta solutions are
used to provide routine high-dose-rate (gynecological, intracavitary, skin, and interstitial) brachytherapy treatments. The Department utilizes a Siemens Definition for patient simulation. The Department’s satellite facility in Bronxville, NY, houses a Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator equipped with VisionRT AlgnRT for SGRT, along
