Summary The Medical Physics Department at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre / Odette Cancer Centre (OCC) in Toronto, Ontario, has openings for two summer students. The OCC is a comprehensive cancer centre and the sixth largest cancer program in North America.
The medical physics department comprises twenty-four medical physicists, five physics associates, five machine shop technologists, six electronics technologists, and four physics IT personnel. Two summer positions are available. Students will work under the supervision of a medical physicist on a research or technical development project.
Projects typically include physics measurements, data analysis, programming, and technical report writing; a full description of the projects will be available at the time of interview. Qualifications Undergraduate students in physics, engineering science, engineering, computer science, and related fields are encouraged to apply.
Students will work in a technical setting with medical physicists, and will learn about radiological physics; medical applications of physics,



including medical imaging and radiotherapy physics; and, develop skills in data collection and analysis, technical report writing, and scientific presentations.

One position is the H.E. Johns Studentship Program, funded by Cancer Care Ontario. Eligible applicants for this position must be nn undergraduate student enrolled in a physics program or a program of a related discipline at a recognized university who is returning to undergraduate studies in the term following the studentship; or a student in their final year of undergraduate studies or who has recently completed their undergraduate studies in a physics program or program of a related discipline and can provide proof of application and/or enrollment in a graduate program in medical physics or biophysics at a recognized university at the time of application.

This is a one-time award; applicants will be considered ineligible if they have previously held a Harold E. Johns Studentship
