Job summary:
At the University of Wisconsin, we are building something exceptional&mdash;an advanced proton therapy program that brings together cutting-edge technology, clinical innovation, and an integrated, collaborative physics culture. This is an opportunity to help shape a next-generation clinical program from the ground up while working alongside a highly engaged and forward-looking team!
The Radiation Oncology Physics Section at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, Department of Human Oncology, is seeking a faculty/staff physicist to contribute to the next generation of proton therapy to join a team of 26 medical physicists, 6 physics residents, and medical physics assistants. The successful candidate will provide technical clinical support of our state-of-the-art proton therapy program that will be clinical in 2026. The proton program includes a Hitachi synchrotron, high-energy beam transport, intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) capability, a gantry room with 360-degree rotation, and a fixed beam room with a first-of-kind upright patient positioning system provided by Leo Cancer Care coupled with on-board CT. Each room is equipped with high-precision patient positioning and volumetric x-ray-based image-guidance systems. Real-time image gated particle therapy via fluoroscopic image will be available in the gantry room. Active proton research activities include FLASH, online adaptive radiation therapy, advanced imaging and treatment planning techniques, and artificial intelligence.
The position will focus primarily on supporting proton physics services provided at the UW Health Cancer Center, Eastpark Medical Center location, which is part of our dual-hub model located on Madison&rsquo;s east side. The 469,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility opened in Fall, 2024 and includes two Varian TrueBeams, a Varian Edge, a GE MRI-simulator, and an Elekta Flexitron Remote Afterloader coupled with Siemens multi-energy CT on rails. Siemens multi-energy CT and advanced treatment planning via RayStation are implemented to support high precision treatment planning with integrated RayCare Oncology Information System.
In collaboration with the Chief Physicist, the Director of Proton Physics, and departmental leadership, incoming proton physics faculty, based on the candidate's interests and accomplishments, will have opportunities for research and teaching activities in alignment with the programmatic goals of the department. UW is a state-of-the-art integrated clinical, research, and training facility, ranked number 1 in Wisconsin in the U.S. News &amp; World Report for the 12th consecutive year and ranked 2nd in the TIME World&rsquo;s Top Public Universities of 2026, that continually invests in the latest technological advancements. Access to ample preclinical/clinical research imaging and therapeutic systems are available including preclinical RayStation treatment planning for research activities. Other major research programs in the department include immunotherapy, theranostics, normal-tissue toxicity assessment, advanced imaging, and automated treatment planning.
In addition to the services provided at our Eastpark location, the UW-Madison campus currently includes a Viewray MRIdian Linac with daily online adaptive radiation therapy, three Varian TrueBeams (one STx), an AccuRay Tomotherapy HDA, and two Elekta Flexitron Remote Afterloaders. We offer a broad range of special procedures, including SRS/SBRT, TBI, TSE, and brachytherapy for a wide range of treatment sites (e.g., GYN, breast, prostate) with MRI-guided planning and BodyTom CT for image verification. Advanced simulation capabilities are routinely integrated into clinical practice including Siemens dual-energy computed tomography and 1.5 T GE MR-simulator units.
