Postdoctoral Fellow – Proton Radiotherapy and Prompt Gamma Imaging

*_ _*

*Position Description:*

The Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland
School of Medicine is recruiting for a post-doctoral fellow position to
carry out research and development on a prototype Prompt Gamma Imaging
system for proton radiotherapy to be developed and clinically tested at
the Maryland Proton Therapy Center. Opportunities for clinical training
will be available for the post-doctoral fellow. The successful candidate
will work with other post-doctoral fellows, clinical medical physics
residents, and graduate students in laboratory and clinical settings. It
is expected that the successful candidate will publish their work in
reputed journals. The position is for two years, with the possibility of
extension for one additional year.



*Qualifications:*

Candidates for this position must have a Ph.D. in engineering, physics,
medical physics, or a closely related physical science.  Successful
applicants must be highly motivated and must have hands-on experience
with radiation detection systems, signal processing, computer
programming (C/C++, Matlab, and Labview), and preferably Monte Carlo
(Geant4) modeling.



*Facility and Equipment:*

The state-of-the-art Maryland Proton Therapy Center is currently under
construction and is scheduled to begin treating patients in early 2015.
The Medical Physics Division is currently staffed with 18 PhD faculty
physicists, 11 dosimetrists, and 12 post-doctoral fellows and graduate
students. We provide clinical services at the University of Maryland
Medical Center and three community practice centers, including conformal
radiotherapy, IMRT, cone-beam CT-guided radiotherapy, stereotactic
radiosurgery/radiotherapy, brachytherapy and soon proton radiotherapy.



*How to Apply:*

Applications should include a cover letter, CV/resume and the names and
contact information for three references. Individuals with a strong
record of scholarly research and publication are encouraged to apply.
The University of Maryland, Baltimore is an Equal Opportunity,
Affirmative Action employer.  Minorities, women, veterans and
