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

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

We are seeking a candidate for a 3-year education position as a medical physicist in radiotherapy.

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

About the department

The Cancer Treatment Department 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 around 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 upgrade of the accelerator fleet, which will give the physics group an important role in planning and implementing the future of radiotherapy.

About the education position

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

During the training you will gain competencies in

• quality assurance of treatment equipment and clinical processes
• dose 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 training.

We are seeking a candidate who

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

Personal competencies

We place great emphasis on that you

• are curious and eager to learn
• work in a structured and quality-conscious manner
• have good collaboration skills
• thrive with responsibility
• have good communication skills
• wish to actively contribute to a strong professional community.

We offer

• a well-structured training 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 characterised by high professionalism, collaboration and innovation
• Salary and employment terms following the collective agreement and local agreement. The department performs treatments on all weekdays from 8 am to 6 pm, weekends and holidays from 8 am to 4 pm. In addition, there will be QA implementation and development tasks, for example, which can only be solved after normal daytime hours.

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