About The Opportunity
Nova Scotia Health (NSH), Atlantic Canada's largest academic health care organization, is recruiting for multiple Medical Physicists for the Cancer Care Program at the Cape Breton Cancer Centre in Sydney and QEII Cancer Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As a member of the Department of Medical Physics, you will play a vital role in cancer care, joining a dynamic team of oncology and imaging physicists, an oncology physics resident, a medical physics assistant, dosimetrists, electronics/IT technologists, and a mechanical technologist.
The Medical Physicist serves a vital role in the Provincial Cancer Care Program, supporting all aspects of clinical medical physics service at the facility, in accordance with provincial standards. The Medical Physicist reports directly to the Chief of Medical Physics and ensures that radiation therapy is delivered in an accurate, effective, and safe manner using contemporary methods and following national and international standards and guidelines. The Medical Physicist administers a Quality Assurance (QA) program addressing all steps of the radiation therapy process as directed by the Medical Physics Technical Quality Control committee. You will contribute to and provide oversight of radiation therapy treatment planning, in compliance with relevant standards established by the Provincial Cancer Care Program. You will oversee radiation safety and protection as relevant to radiation therapy at the facility, serving as the secondary Departmental Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). The Medical Physicist coordinates training sessions to medical physicists, radiation oncologists, dosimetrists and radiation therapists on clinical techniques.
The successful candidate will be expected to advance the Department’s academic mandate of research and post-graduate training activities. Academically, you will apply for a faculty appointment with Dalhousie University’s Department of Radiation Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, and support CAMPEP-accredited Master's, Doctoral, and Certificate programs in medical physics. The programs include nine graduate courses with thesis research in areas including novel technology for image guidance in radiotherapy, innovative approaches to arc-based therapy, improved methods for dosimetry of HDR brachytherapy, and applications of functional and molecular imaging to radiation therapy. The Department of Medical Physics is highly supportive of research initiatives among its faculty with regard to the provision of resources, dedicated time, and internal funding for graduate students.
