The Cross Cancer Institute (CCI) is seeking Medical Physicists (MPs) to fill multiple new positions and join our outstanding Medical Physics team. The CCI is a world-class freestanding cancer treatment centre with a long history of excellence in clinical care, treatment innovation, and fundamental research. The MPs will join a large and broadly skilled clinical and academic team that supports activities across external beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, nuclear medicine, as well as diagnostic and MR imaging. The site has eight state-of-the art Varian linear accelerators, two Philips Big Bore CT-simulators, an Elekta ICON Gamma Knife, an orthovoltage superficial unit, HDR brachytherapy system, an active permanent seed implant brachytherapy program, and an ocular brachytherapy program. The CCI is also embarking on clinical trials and continued research with its in-house and first of its kind Linac-MR. The CCI Medical Physics Department boasts involvement in numerous cooperative groups, pharma and investigator-initiated clinical trials, and has capabilities in SRS, brachytherapy, and motion management. The CCI has four CAMPEP-accredited programs: University of Alberta Medical Physics Graduate Teaching Program offering an MSc degree in Medical Physics, a PhD degree in Medical Physics, Certificate Program in Medical Physics, Radiation Oncology Physics Residency Program, and Imaging Physics Residency Program. The Medical Physics Department has a research 9.4T animal MRI, a 0.2T linac-MR prototype, and a full scale (human-sized) 0.5 linac-MR system. The fully equipped medical physics machine shop, coupled with ample computing resources and expertise, makes the department ideal for both leading-edge clinicians and theoretical researchers.



(This role is eligible for relocation reimbursement of up to 10% of the base salary in compliance with organizational policy.) Description: The Medical Physicist will carry out the usual duties of a medical physicist, including oversight and design of quality assurance programs, implementation of new treatment delivery and planning techniques, quality checks of the radiation treatment planning process, assisting in the drafting, implementation, and review of policy as needed, and assisting where required with the radiation safety program. It is also expected that the successful candidate will engage in research and teach in our graduate and residency programs; they will be eligible to hold an appointment with the University of Alberta. The ideal candidate will complement the existing clinical, teaching, and research programs of the group, respected for its high quality of care, cutting edge techniques, innovative technology, and its CAMPEP-accredited graduate and residency programs (both therapy and imaging). There are opportunities to support and further develop the CCI Linac-MR, to contribute to the busy and expanding Gamma Knife program, and to participate in the introduction of ETHOS-based adaptive radiotherapy.
