Supervisory Therapeutic Medical Physicist - RELOCATION/RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE

The Primary Purpose of this position is to: Support the therapeutic goals set by the physicians for the patients under their care by the use of principles and accepted protocols of physics. Medical Physics is that branch of physics that is associated with the practice of medicine. This includes the use of principles and accepted protocols of physics to assure the correct quality, quantity, and placement of radiation during the performance of a radiological procedure.This is an open-continuous announcement, established initial cut-off date: . Additional applications will be referred as needed, remained open until filled.Duties include but are not limited to: Provides professional, scientific, and clinical oversite of Therapeutic Medical Physics for external beam radiotherapy and treatment procedures throughout the entire treatment process from simulation to treatment planning to the actual treatment delivery Oversees the technical and programmatic development and implementation of new radiotherapy techniques and modalities Oversees the activities of all other TMPs, dosimetrists and other staff members assigned to the physics workgroup and is fully capable of performing the functions of the TMPs and dosimetrists under his/her supervision Directs the technical aspects of treatment procedures, and performs duties qualifying them as a supervisor to include planning and directing work, developing performance plans, evaluating staff performance, and other administrative functions Has full supervisory responsibility for a staff that includes lower level TMP positions and other clinical and professional staff that has technicalresponsibilities within the physics workgroup Addresses staff concerns so that issues are resolved at the lowest level possible and provides feedback to staff to maintain a cooperative and productive work environment. Directs the implementation of new equipment and processes through oversight of the following activities: assesses radiation therapy equipment needs; monitors acceptance testing and commissioning of new radiation therapy equipment; tests and evaluates associated computer systems, algorithms and data output; evaluates the adequacy of room shielding and radiation surveys; develops and implements treatment processes and standard operating procedures in concert with the radiation oncologists; and ensures the precision and accuracy of treatment delivery Evaluates service needs and capabilities and makes recommendations on. opportunities for improvement and future needs. Participates in development of techniques (hardware, software, or procedural) to improve the delivery of radiation treatments Optimizes technical infrastructure and workflow for streamlined operations in the department of radiation oncology through the mastery and application of techniques such as Process Mapping, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, Root Cause Analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis Maintains clear evidence that equipment is compliant w
