The Department of Medical Physics supports staff professional and academic growth by providing access to research and development opportunities related to topics in a set of focus areas. Topics include process automation, data science, MR-guided external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy, dose accumulation, adaptive radiotherapy, radiation dosimetry, proton therapy technology development and clinical implementation, theranostics, functional imaging for treatment response assessment and optical techniques and biophotonics in conjunction with radiation.
The department of Medical Physics is active in education and training of medical physicists through its CAMPEP-accredited residency program at the University of Toronto, Department of Radiation Oncology. The department also maintains a strong relation with University of Toronto’s Department of Medical Biophysics through which it recently established a CAMPEP-accredited Ph.D. program, providing robust access to top-notch graduate students. The successful candidate will be encouraged and supported to secure an academic appointment at the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Toronto.

The successful candidates hold a PhD degree in Medical Physics or related field, are CCPM eligible and have experience in advanced imaging, treatment planning and delivery technologies in external beam radiation therapy and/or brachytherapy. The candidate is a motivated self-starter wanting to make a difference, and a team player with excellent communication and problem-solving skills, eager to foster and develop their leadership skills and keen in participating in or leading clinical development and research. The individual has a sustained academic productivity as evidenced by publications, grants, book chapters and committee activity in professional and scientific societies (COMP, AAPM, ASTRO, ESTRO, etc).
