Applications are sought for full-time faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Emory University School of Medicine under the guidance of the Director of Medical Physics.

Emorys Department of Radiation Oncology serves six clinical institutions (Emory University Hospital Clifton, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Emory Proton Therapy Center, Emory Saint Josephs Hospital, Emory Decatur Hospital, Emory Hillandale Hospital) in the Atlanta metro area and is an integral part of Winship, a National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The department treats nearly 3,000 patients annually. Highlights of the technology offered include 8 Varian linear accelerators, 2 Elekta linear accelerators, a multi-room proton center, Gamma Knife, Zeiss IntraBeam intraoperative unit, multiple brachytherapy HDR afterloader units, big bore CT scanners with 4D capabilities, and access to MR and PET scanners. All linear accelerators are IGRT (2D, 3D) and respiratory motion management equipped. The oncology information systems is ARIA with treatment planning systems to include Eclipse and RayStation.

The department has grown in its clinical, teaching, and research activities in the past decade and is currently ranked top 3 in NIH funding among all radiation oncology departments within medical schools in the country (Blue Ridge 2020). There are currently 63 faculty members in the departments Divisions of Clinical Affairs, Cancer Biology and Medical Physics. In addition, there is a fully accredited three-year training program for medical physics residents, as well as, a four-year training program for radiation oncology residents. Emory physics faculty also participate in Georgia Institute of Technologys medical physics education and research programs. The Medical Physics Division has a successful research program and has multiple investigators funded by NIH and DoD in image-guided radiotherapy.

Candidates must have a PhD, or equivalent doctoral degree. ABR board certification in therapeutic radiological physics is preferred. The candidate is expected to support clinical services in our photon clinc, participate in the education of medical physicist residents and medical residents, conduct clinical and translational research. Applicants who have research interests that significantly contribute to the overall departmental academic effort are strongly encouraged to apply. Emory School of Medicine is renowned as a premier research institution.
