About the Opportunity
Engaged Headhunters has been retained by an established radiation oncology program in Coastal Virginia (Hampton Roads / Virginia Beach) to recruit a Board-Certified Therapeutic Medical Physicist (DABR).
Working alongside a collaborative team of radiation oncologists, Certified Medical Dosimetrists (CMDs), and ARRT(T) radiation therapists, you will oversee clinical radiation physics, linear accelerator QA (TG-142 / TG-51), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS/SBRT), and high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy with a sustainable patient load and strong physics peer backup.
Compensation & Benefits
- Base Compensation: $245,000 to $295,000 annualized base salary (commensurate with ABR certification and years of post-residency clinical experience)
- Sign-On & Relocation: $20,000 sign-on / relocation package available
- Schedule: Monday through Friday clinical schedule with shared physics coverage and hybrid remote chart-check flexibility
- Benefits: Full medical, dental, vision, 401(k)/403(b) retirement match, 4+ weeks PTO, paid AAPM/ABR maintenance dues, and $4,000 annual CME allowance
Core Clinical Physics Responsibilities
- Machine QA & Calibration: Direct monthly and annual linear accelerator quality assurance per AAPM TG-142 and reference dosimetry calibration per TG-51 on Varian TrueBeam platforms.
- Advanced Treatment Planning & Chart Checks: Perform initial, weekly, and final physics plan evaluations and patient-specific IMRT/VMAT QA in Varian Eclipse / ARIA.
- Stereotactic & Brachytherapy Oversight: Serve as Authorized Medical Physicist (AMP) for HDR brachytherapy and provide direct physics coverage for SRS and SBRT treatments.
- Radiation Safety & Regulatory Compliance: Maintain state radiation protection compliance, NRC/agreement-state RAM license adherence, and ACR/APEx accreditation standards.
Required Qualifications
- Education: Master's or Doctoral (Ph.D. / DMP) degree in Medical Physics or a closely related physical science from a CAMPEP-accredited graduate program and residency.
- Certification: Active American Board of Radiology (ABR) certification in Therapeutic Medical Physics (DABR).
- Technical Systems: Hands-on clinical proficiency with Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators, Eclipse Treatment Planning System, ARIA OIS, and Sun Nuclear / Portal Dosimetry QA hardware.
