The Tom Baker Cancer Centre Department of Medical Physics of the University of Calgary Department of Oncology, has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow. This is a new position funded for 1 year, with the expectation of a 2^nd year. This is intended to be a 100% research position, but this is negotiable for a suitable candidate. Research will be primarily in breathing control and Normal Tissue Complication measurements. The NTC measurements will be mainly with Radiation Therapy patients, using Dynamic CT, SPECT and MRI. The images will be correlated with 3D dose distributions. Patient breathing control is being pursued using both Active Breathing Control and RPM Respiratory Gating. There will be frequent patient interaction. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Medical Physics, Physics or a related field, with a strong programming background in C and Unix. Imaging experience is desirable. Facility with written and spoken English is important.

The Tom Baker Cancer Centre is a state-of-the-art faca state-of-the-art facility with 6 Varian linacs and 1 cobalt-60 machine, with a 7^th linac to be installed later this year. Most of these machines are equipped with MLC and EPI. For 3D Treatment Planning, we have Pinnacle-3, GRATIS, PlUNC and X-Knife. There are 2 Picker AcQSim CTs in the Medical Physics Department and access to MRI and SPECT in the host hospital, the Foothills Medical Centre.

Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae and a statement of their research interests by April 30^th to:
