Job Description

Associate Professor or Professor of Clinical Medical Physics: The
Department of Radiation Oncology, at the University of Maryland
School of Medicine is recruiting for a faculty Medical Physicist at
the rank of Associate / Professor, nontenure track level at our
University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) location in Baltimore,
MD. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in medical physics, engineering,
or related physical science and ABR board certification/eligibility
in radiation oncology physics. Expected rank for this position will
be Associate Professor or higher; however, final rank and tenure
status will be commensurate with selected candidate’s
experience.

The successful candidate will join our existing team of dedicated
Medical Physics faculty at UMMC and will be responsible for
clinical duties such as quality assurance, machine maintenance and
calibration, patient treatment planning and treatment support, as
well as technology and workflow optimization and implementation. In
addition, the faculty member will be expected to support our
special procedures which include (i) motion managed intensity
modulated photon therapy; (ii) robust stereotactic body radiation
therapy, and (iii) brachytherapy. Active participation is also
expected in teaching residents and trainees. The incumbent is also
expected to actively engage in clinical innovation and translation.
We have a comprehensive research program that encompasses various
areas such as proton and electron FLASH radiation therapy, prompt
gamma imaging, proton arc therapy, dual-energy CT planning,
LET-based planning, advanced motion management, AI and Radiomics
applications, small animal image-guided proton therapy on the
beamline SARRP platform, and MRI-guided IMPT. Candidates with
significant interest and track record of extramural funding in one
or more

of these areas will be given dedicated and shared resources upon
mutual agreement.

The Medical Physics team is led by Dr. Amit Sawant, Vice Chair for
Medical Physics, and has 31 medical physics faculty, 25
dosimetrists, 3 physics residents, and 7 information systems and
technology staff. All practice sites are connected via a

development of advanced treatment planning and delivery techniques,
real-time respiratory motion management, functionally guided
radiation therapy, prompt-gamma imaging, dual-energy CT, AI
applications in radiation therapy, including radiomics and
radiogenomics, and electron and proton FLASH radiotherapy. Medical
physics research space is co-located with our precision
radiotherapy and radiobiology research to facilitate
interdisciplinary collaboration and team science.
