Job description:
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Medical Physics – Harvard Medical School
A postdoctoral research position is available at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School in the Department of Radiation Oncology, Division of Medical Physics and Biophysics.
We are seeking a motivated individual with strong communication skills and the desire and talent to tackle technical problems in image-guided radiation therapy. Significant computer programming and data analysis experience is essential; familiarity with image processing, reconstruction techniques and/or compressed sensing would be valued highly. Candidates with a Ph.D., or equivalent, in physics, astronomy, computer science, medical physics, engineering or a related subject are invited to apply. No prior experience in medicine is required.
The successful applicant will participate in NIH or industry funded projects related to developing reconstruction techniques for image guidance during radiation therapy. The fellow will also have the opportunity to receive clinical training and to participate in the department’s CAMPEP-approved medical physics certificate program.
Interested individuals should send a cover letter and CV by email to Dr. Christopher Williams: cwilliams@lroc.harvard.edu. Three references should be available upon request.
About Brigham and Women’s Hospital:
The Division of Medical Physics and Biophysics in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School is a dynamic group of 20 faculty members, 20 clinical physicists and dosimetrists and 14+ postdocs, residents and graduate students. We currently support 12 linear accelerators, 6 CT simulators and a full brachytherapy (LDR and HDR) program. Ongoing research projects in the department include image-guided radiotherapy, radiomics, 4DCT, 4DPET, DCE-MRI, adaptive radiotherapy, molecular biophysics, therapeutic nanoparticles, and pre-clinical radiation oncology.
About Medical Physics:
Medical physics is a sub-discipline of physics focused on applications in medicine. In radiation oncology, physicists help to ensure the safe and effective delivery of therapeutic radiation for cancer patients. Additionally, they develop new technologies for therapy and imaging, perform basic research and help to educate students and other care providers.
