Original job description
The Cancer Program at Windsor Regional Hospital (WRH) is seeking applications for a temporary full-time Medical Physicist to join a progressive and collaborative Radiation Oncology team serving patients throughout the Erie St. Clair Region.
The department is equipped with four Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators, an Xstrahl Orthovoltage unit, and a GE Discovery RT CT Simulator. Our brachytherapy program utilizes a Varian Bravos HDR remote afterloader for gynecological and prostate treatments.
Advanced treatment planning and brachytherapy systems currently in clinical use include Eclipse, and BrachyVision. A dedicated 3.0T Siemens MRI located within the Department of Radiation Oncology supports MRI-based treatment planning, clinical innovation, and research activities.
The successful candidate will join an energetic Medical Physics team consisting of five medical physicists, two CAMPEP-accredited residency positions, a physics assistant, and two accelerator technologists. The program offers opportunities to contribute to advanced clinical treatments, technology implementation, resident education, and research initiatives within a supportive academic environment.
Responsibilities
We thank all those who apply; however, only candidates chosen for interview will be contacted.
Windsor Regional Hospital is an equal opportunity employer. In accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, upon request, accommodation will be provided by WRH throughout the recruitment, selection and/or assessment process to applicants with disabilities.
