Our Operations

Medical physics is part of the Department of Medical Technology and Physics (MTF) and is divided into four groups: Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, MRI, and Radiation Therapy. Within the radiation therapy group, 18 dedicated employees provide physics and technical support to the Radiation Therapy Department at the Department of Hematology and Oncology. We are now looking for a temporary hospital physicist as one of our colleagues is expected to take leave to try new work.

For external radiation therapy, there are five Elekta accelerators, including one MR-linac, as well as a Philips Big Bore CT simulator and a Philips Ingenia MR simulator. We use Monaco as a dose planning system and Mosaiq as an oncology information system. For brachytherapy, the department has two Elekta afterloading devices and a contact therapy device from Ariane. Uppsala University Hospital is also part of the Skandion collaboration, which means we prepare patients for proton therapy at Skandion Clinic.

Your Mission

As a hospital physicist in the radiation therapy group, you will support the Radiation Therapy Department in the operation, maintenance, and quality control of the systems used to calculate, generate, and register radiation. The role also includes being the first contact person for the radiation therapy staff during the implementation and preparation of treatments, as well as providing research support to clinical staff as needed. A portion of the position may also be used to conduct your own research related to the radiation therapy operations.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for a licensed hospital physicist.

It is an advantage if you have experience working in radiation therapy, especially with MR-linac. Experience with the use and quality control of AI systems in radiation therapy is also advantageous.
