Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is one of the worlds premier cancer centers, committed to exceptional patient care, leading-edge research, and superb educational programs. The blending of research with patient care is at the heart of everything we do. The institution is a comprehensive cancer center whose purposes are the treatment and control of cancer, the advancement of biomedical knowledge through laboratory and clinical research, and the training of scientists, physicians, and other health care workers.

The Division of Clinic Radiotherapy Physics within the Department of Medical Physics is seeking an Assistant or Associate Attending Physicist. The position will support clinical radiotherapy physics services at the Nassau and Commack outpatient facilities and will also contribute to the clinical research and development mission of MSK.

MSK Nassau:

• 3 Varian True Beam linear accelerators, 1 GammaMedPlus HDR unit, 1 CT simulator, and 1 PET/CT simulator.
• Staffed with three faculty-level physicists, two senior M.S. physicists and eight Planners.

MSK COMMACK:

• 2 Varian True Beam linear accelerators, 1 Varian IX machine, 1 CT simulator, and 1 PET/CT simulator.
• Staffed with three faculty-level physicists, one project physicist and seven Planners.

MSK has a large, 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 programs in radiation therapy research and development are ongoing, including:

• The development and clinical use of predictive models (tumor control and normal tissue complication probability) in treatment planning
• Artificial intelligence and autosegmentation
• Improved treatment planning optimization algorithms
• Integration of MR and PET imaging into radiotherapy decision making and treatment planning
• 4D imaging and motion management
• The development of informatics- based and adaptive radiotherapy processes
• Automation in radiotherapy
• Innovation in quality and safety for patient care.

MSK enterprise-wide radiation oncology and medical physics resources include thirty linear accelerators, one MR-Linac, six HDR units, CT, PET/CT and MRI Simulators, and state-of-the-art inter- and intra-fractional imaging and motion management capabilities. We have a strong philosophy that all facilities will provide outstanding treatment quality as well as contribute to the overall mission of MSK to advance the state of cancer care.
