POSITION SPECIFICS

The Department of Radiology Health Physics at the Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, PA, is seeking a non-tenure line Diagnostic Medical Physicist (Assistant Professor) to support imaging physics activities at the College and Penn State Health's five medical centers and numerous outpatient clinics. This position will provide physics support for a customizable selection of modalities (radiographic, fluoroscopic, CT, ultrasound, mammographic, MR, or nuclear medicine/PET imaging). Some experience with MR and MR safety is preferred. Core responsibilities include advanced imaging clinical support, acceptance testing, supervision of physicist assistants, quality assurance oversight, and education/training of technologists, physicist assistants, medical residents, and physicians.
