RADIATION ONCOLOGY MEDICAL PHYSICISTS (and also RO-LINKED IMAGING PHYSICISTS): 

POSSIBILITY OF EXCITING SHORTER-TERM (0.25 to 2 years) POSTS IN AUSTRALIA; SUIT SECONDMENTS, SABBATICALS, CAREER BREAKS, RECENT-RETIREES, POST-DOCS; expressions of interest sought from PhD-level Medical Physicists with a strong research and publication track record and with appropriate recent clinical and R&D experience.

On the back of a recently-formed collaborative between all six Australian Universities providing Medical Physics programs, support is being sought from a network of funders including universities, government, hospitals, etc. for conjoint appointments between university and hospital Medical Physics departments in the general area of Radiation Oncology  R&D and academic support.  Posts are not yet guaranteed and number and level will depend on funding.  At this stage we would like to demonstrate  interest in such posts to help us to move forward with the bids and with pre-preparations in the event of a successful outcome.  

Each post would be in an individual university but expected to spend significant  time in partner clinical departments. The roles would be around providing enhanced links between universities and hospitals, supporting Medical Physics students and clinical trainees in placements and research projects, collaborating in and supporting R&D projects in the hospital departments and contributing to the universities own research programmes in the field.  If posts are funded and established, they may be in various cities around Australia and it may be possible for an appointee to have some time in more than one place.  If bids are successful, we should have clearer plans by April 2012 and be looking for appointees to start as soon after June 2012 as possible, hence the need for pre-preparation even before the outcome is known.  The funding will be for 2 years maximum in the first instance and at this stage we would like to assess interest in such posts for periods of from 3 or 4 months up to the full 2 years.  There is the possibility of extension afterwards, but this would also depend on continued funding, which in turn will depend on how successful the posts have been. 

If this may be of interest to you, please get in touch and indicate how long a visit you might be interested in. Names would be added to a (confidential) list that we would contact in the event of funding and posts becoming available. After that there would be a normal recruitment/selection process with as short a timescale as possible. Also, if you would like further information on what might be involved, the contact would be the same: Prof David Thwaites, Chair of the inter-University Medical Physics Program Co-ordinators Group,  Institute of Medical Physics, School of Physics, University of Sydney, NSW2006, Australia,david.thwaites@sydney.edu.au
