3-year training position as a hospital physicist in radiation therapy, Department of Cancer Treatment, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital

Would you train to become a medical physicist in one of Denmark's largest and most technologically advanced radiotherapy environments?

We are seeking a candidate for a 3-year educational position as a medical physicist within radiotherapy.

The medical physicist education is a three-year specialized training that is carried out under employment at a hospital and combines clinical work, theoretical courses and project work. The education provides competencies for independent work as a medical physicist within radiotherapy. The Danish Society for Medical Physics and the Health Authority describe the education as a combination of clinical training, quality assurance, development tasks and theoretical education.

About the department

The Department of Cancer Treatment at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital is among Denmark's largest radiotherapy centers with a high activity level, strong research environments and significant technological development.

The department's clinical platform includes

• 3 CT scanners for treatment planning
• 1 dedicated MR scanner for radiotherapy
• 6 Varian TrueBeam accelerators
• 1 Varian Halcyon accelerator
• 2 Varian Ethos accelerators for adaptive radiotherapy
• ExacTrac Dynamic from Brainlab
• Identify SGRT system
• virtual collaboration with Rigshospitalet regarding MR-Linac.

The coming years will bring a number of exciting development projects, including the implementation of HyperSight, RapidArc Dynamic and further development of our adaptive treatment platforms. In the longer term, the department also faces an update of the accelerator fleet, which will give the physics group an important role in planning and implementing the future of radiotherapy.

About the educational position

You will become an integrated part of the Physics Section and will receive a structured educational program with supervision from experienced medical physicists.

Through the education you will gain competencies in

• quality assurance of treatment equipment and clinical processes
• dosing planning and plan optimization
• dosimetry and measurement techniques
• image-guided radiotherapy
• adaptive radiotherapy
• implementation of new technologies
• radiation protection
• clinical development and research projects.

The department has a particular focus on quality assurance and dose planning, and you will therefore be involved early in these areas as an important part of your educational program.

We are looking for a candidate who

• has a master's degree in physics, technical physics, medical physics, engineering or a corresponding natural science field
• meets the access requirements for the medical physicist education
• has solid competencies in physics and mathematics
• has an interest in technology, health care and clinical application of physics
• is motivated to complete the medical physicist education.

Personal competencies

We place great emphasis on the following

• being curious and eager to learn
• working structured and quality-conscious
• having good collaboration skills
• thriving with responsibility
• having good communication skills
• willing to actively contribute to a strong professional community.

We offer

• a well-structured educational program
• close supervision from experienced medical physicists
• opportunity to work with some of the most advanced technologies in radiotherapy
• a strong professional and social environment
• good opportunities for professional development
• a workplace characterized by high professionalism, collaboration and innovation
• Salary and employment terms in accordance with the collective agreement and local agreement. The department performs treatments on all weekdays from 08:00-18:00, on weekends and holidays from 08:00-16:00. In addition there will, for example, be QA implementation and development tasks which can only be resolved after normal daytime hours.

If you want to combine strong natural science competencies with clinical work, technology and patient care, we look forward to receiving your application.
