The London Regional Cancer Centre

POSITION: MEDICAL PHYSICS RESIDENT

LOCATION: London Regional Cancer Centre, London, Ontario, Canada

The London Regional Cancer Centre is committed to providing leadership in cancer treatment, research, and education and is affiliated with the University of Western Ontario. Current treatment resources include 9 high-energy treatment machines, some with MLC and EPID, 2 simulators, a CT-simulator, HDR, LDR, and programs in prostate brachytherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and TBI. Leading-edge medical physics research is underway in projects related to 3-D conformal radiation therapy, megavoltage imaging, dose optimization, outcome prediction, and biological modeling. The successful candidate will join a very active and dynamic Medical Physics team with a full range of dosimetrist, computer and engineering support. The candidate will benefit from "on-the-job" experience and will part and will participate in all aspects of clinical physics related to radiation treatment including radiation dosimetry, treatment planning, brachytherapy, and quality assurance of all radiation therapy equipment. Courses in radiation physics and radiation biology at the University of Western Ontario are also offered during the tenure of this position. While the primary intent is to provide the candidate with a practical foundation in clinical physics, participation in a research project will occupy about 20% of the time. The duration of the training is two years and the training period will end with the Cancer Care Ontario Peer Review A process.

Qualifications include a Ph.D. (preferred) or M.Sc. in Medical Physics or related field.

Application deadline is 15 May 1999. We thank all those who apply; however, only candidates chosen for interview will be contacted.
