Radiation Oncology Physicist Faculty

Department of Radiation Oncology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

As a cornerstone of Cedars-Sinai Cancer, the Department of Radiation Oncology is a hub of clinical innovation and compassionate care in the heart of Los Angeles. The department is recruiting a Radiation Oncology Physicist for a faculty position at the main campus. This position presents an exciting opportunity to join the growing and dynamic Radiation Oncology Physics group in the Cedars-Sinai Health System.

Cedars-Sinai is a nationally recognized leader in comprehensive clinical cancer care, research, and post-graduate resident medical education programs with Radiation Oncology and Medical Physics residency programs. The overall department (main campus and affiliates) currently includes six linear accelerators, SBRT, SRS, and IGRT; two Bravos HDR afterloaders; 4D CT-simulators, and real-time motion management systems; with ARIA/Eclipse treatment planning on an integrated database. Additionally, the main campus is undergoing a major construction project to add an additional state-of-the-art linear accelerator, a dual energy CT simulator, and a 3T MRI simulator. Over 3,000 new patients are treated each year at Cedars-Sinai Radiation Oncology.

Successful applicants must have an interest in contributing to the department’s growing academic and research efforts as well as its high-quality clinical program and Medical Physics and Radiation Oncology Residency programs. This is an opportunity to join a sizeable team of physicists whose responsibilities include: education for residents and students, clinical radiation oncology physics and quality assurance, participation in expanding academic and translational research efforts including novel clinical trials and implementation of advanced clinical treatment techniques. The physics group provides extensive opportunities for peer review, AAPM continuing education, interdisciplinary lectures, and direct collegial support.

Cedars-Sinai physicians and scientists are leaders in basic and clinical research, bringing advancements in medicine directly from the laboratory to the bedside. Opportunities for faculty to collaborate with productive full-time researchers present a unique opportunity for the academically motivated physician. We are committed to expanding and strengthening our regional, national, and international reputation for delivering high value services at all sites of care. This mission has been furthered by the establishment of Cedars-Sinai Health System (CSHS), an expansive regional healthcare system. The system includes three of the finest hospitals in Southern California beyond the flagship Cedars-Sinai Medical Center totaling more than 2,300 beds with revenues exceeding $7 billion annually. CSHS also has more than 50 outpatient locations spanning the entire Los Angeles region and population of over 18 million.
