Physicist jobs in Schenectady, NY

The Radiation Oncology Center (ROC) is seeking an ABR certified Masters Level Medical Physicist. This position will provide medical physics services with another licensed, board-certified Medical Physicist.  This physicist will be responsible for providing support for all aspects of clinical medical physics and work closely with a Certified Medical Dosimetrist. The individual should be a skilled planner with Eclipse for conventional 3D, HDR, IMRT/VMAT, SBRT, and SRS as a backup to the CMD, as well as knowledgeable with the equipment in use. Experience with ARIA preferred. This individual is expected to be an active participant in the development and implementation of planning, treatment, and QA protocols. Although we work hard to maintain a "normal" work schedule, this is a hands-on position covering the clinic during normal business hours, as well as those unique physics activities that have to wait until non-clinic hours. The successful candidate will require minimal supervision, be a self-starter, take initiative, and be able to take direction.

The Saratoga Hospital (TSH) is a community-based hospital located in beautiful Upstate New York. The hospital is COC accredited and the ROC is ACRO accredited.
