Job Description

Exciting Opportunity at MSK: We have an opening for a 2-year therapeutic medical physics residency position in the Department of Medical Physics, with a start date in November 2025 at the earliest.

Details of the residency program (including admissions requirements) can be found at https://www.mskcc.org/hcp-education-training/residencies/residency-therapeutic-medical-physics. The Department of Medical Physics consists of over eighty faculty physicists and computer scientists plus support staff working on various physical problems related to diagnosis and therapy for cancer. MSKCC has an extensive, cutting-edge program in all aspects of radiation oncology physics that seeks to improve the clinical effectiveness of radiation therapy in partnership with radiation oncologists, radiologists, and other medical professionals. Many new programs in radiation therapy research and development are ongoing, including the development of real-time motion adaptation during treatment on the MR-linac and conventional linac platforms, the development and clinical use of predictive models using machine learning/AI for treatment planning, improved treatment planning optimization algorithms, integration of MR and PET imaging into radiotherapy decision making and treatment planning, 4D imaging and motion management, the use of Deep Learning and AI for image analysis and tissue segmentation, and the development of informatics-based adaptive radiotherapy processes (www.mskcc.org/departments/medical-physics). Medical physics resources include thirty linear accelerators, one combined treatment room-MRI-Linac system, six HDR units, CT, PET/CT, MRI simulators, and state-of-the-art inter-and intra-fractional imaging and motion management capabilities. We can access a high-performance computer cluster with the most advanced GPU resources. We also partner with the New York Proton Center, which houses one cyclotron, three rotational gantry treatment rooms, one fixed beam treatment room, one research beam room, PET/CT, two CTs, two MRIs, and related clinical support space.

Key Requirements

• MS or PhD in medical physics from a CAMPEP-accredited graduate program, or PhD in a related scientific discipline along with a certificate in medical physics from a CAMPEP-accredited certificate program.
• Interest in and commitment to high quality patient care.

Application Introductions
