Medical Physicist for Radiotherapy, Department of Cancer Treatment, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital

Hospital Physicist for Radiation Therapy

Department of Cancer Treatment, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital

Do you want to help ensure and further develop the quality in one of Denmark's largest radiation therapy centers.

We are seeking a hospital physicist for a permanent position in the Physics Section in the Department of Cancer Treatment at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital.

We are looking for a colleague with strong professional skills and a particular interest in quality assurance. At the same time, we place great emphasis on personal qualifications, collaboration skills and the desire to contribute to a strong professional community.

About the department

The Department of Cancer Treatment is among Denmark's largest radiotherapy centers and treats patients from across the Capital Region of Denmark. The Physics Section works closely with physicians, radiographers, nurses and technicians to ensure treatment of high quality, high patient safety and ongoing development of the department's treatment methods.

The department has a modern and technologically advanced radiotherapy environment with

• 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 system for surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT).

In addition, we participate in a virtual collaboration with Rigshospitalet regarding MR-Linac treatments.

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