The Department of Radiation Oncology at the Perelman School of
Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for an
Assistant Professor position in the non-tenure academic clinician
track. Applicants must have an M.D. degree. Required certifications
include being Board Eligible or Board Certified in Radiation
Oncology by the American Board of Radiology.

Teaching responsibilities may include the teaching, training, and
mentoring of radiation oncology residents, medical physics
residents, medical physics graduate students, and visiting physics
residents or trainees from other institutions and countries. In
addition to these core responsibilities, this role encompasses both
formal and informal teaching engagements, including active
participation in resident didactic series, serving in capacities
both as a lecturer and as an in-person discussant.

Clinical responsibilities may include specialized gynecologic
brachytherapy. This role will encompass the delivery of high-dose
rate (HDR) brachytherapy for the treatment of cervical, uterine,
and vaginal cancers, utilizing state-of-the-art, accredited
technology. While the clinical focus of this position is rooted in
the management of gynecologic malignancies, it will include care of
other patients with breast cancer. The scope of clinical practice
will extend beyond brachytherapy to include a comprehensive array
of treatment modalities, such as conventional radiation therapy,
stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), proton therapy, photon and
proton reirradiation, and total body irradiation (TBI), ensuring
the highest standard of individualized, multidisciplinary care for
all patients served.
