The Division of Medical Physics at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, is seeking a board-certified Medical Physicist to join our growing team and help support our current clinical practice and aid in preparation for the first in the nation Carbon-Ion Therapy Center.
Candidates will have a record of accomplishment that demonstrates academic and clinical productivity in therapeutic medical physics, including clinical practice, project management, research achievement and educational excellence. Experience in a proton or carbon center is encouraged but not required.
The new building will open in 2025 for photon treatments, followed by proton therapy in 2027 and the first Carbon Therapy system in North America in 2028. Other equipment in the Department includes Varian TrueBeam linacs, a Gamma Knife ICON, Mobetron, dual energy Siemens CT simulators, a Elekta Flexitron HDR remote after loader, and a full complement of dosimetry and detector systems for photon, proton, carbon, and brachytherapy. Treatment procedures include all conventional radiation therapy plus specials that include IORT, TBI, TSET, HDR, SRS, SBRT, BH, and LDR eye plaques.
The Medical Physics Division currently has seventeen board certified medical physicists and will grow substantially in the next several years in preparation and deployment of the particle therapy center. The Division also includes a medical physics residency program. The Division is a seasoned and cohesive team responsible for all aspects of therapy physics in support of clinical practice, education and research in radiation oncology.
Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. and ABR board certification. Capability to attain a Florida State license is required.
