Assistant Physicist

A vacancy has arisen within the radiotherapy physics team for a physicist at the start of their career to cover a 3 month secondment leave. Radiotherapy physics is part of a multi-disciplinary team in a large Cancer Centre.

The Section consists of Clinical Scientists, practitioners in radiotherapy physics, radiographers, linac and computer engineers.

The centre has 7 Varian linear accelerators, a Cyberknife - stereotactic linear accelerator and a brachytherapy suite. Patient treatments are planned on one of our dedicated wide bore CT scanners with access to, MR and CT-PET imaging within the Paul Strickland Scanner centre. The department uses both Pinnacle and Eclipse treatment planning systems.

As the post is for 3 months, the successful applicant will be trained to do a limited number of the tasks in the job description in order to support the department, the time spent in a clinical department will give invaluable experience to anyone interested in a future career in radiotherapy physics.
