The Department of Radiation Oncology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for an Assistant Professor position in the non-tenure clinician educator track. Expertise is required in the specific area of artificial intelligence applications, machine learning algorithms, automation or advanced imaging. Significant experience in proton therapy required. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree. ABR board eligibility in therapeutic radiological physics is required, and ABR board certification is preferred or expected within the first two years.

Teaching responsibilities may include the teaching and training of radiation oncology residents, medical physics residents, medical physics graduate students, etc.

Clinical responsibilities may include supporting a full range of clinical physics activities, such as linac-based radiation therapy, brachytherapy, proton therapy, etc. at the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine.

Research or scholarship responsibilities may include actively and independently contributing to departmental research. The department has a range of innovative research projects, which include but are not limited to proton and x-ray FLASH therapy, advanced imaging (dual energy CT, Cherenkov imaging, in vivo proton imaging etc.), photodynamic therapy, bioinformatics, outcome analysis, etc. With increasing needs in automation and clinical decision support, this position requires candidates have demonstrated experience in translating artificial intelligence or machine learning algorithms into clinical practice. Significant experience in proton therapy is also required. Evidence of scholarship is a strong requirement in the Clinician-Educator track. While seeking external grant funding (NIH or other sources) is not required for success in the track, collaboration with other faculty within Penn in grant applications is strongly encouraged in order for the candidate to support an independent research program.
