Description A postdoctoral training position is available in the Medical Physics & Engineering

Division, Department of Radiation Oncology at UT Southwestern Medical Center, to study medical physics, imaging, and radiation therapy. Our laboratory has several exciting projects related to:

• Developing analytical and AI-driven medical image reconstruction, registration, synthesis, and segmentation techniques for image-guided radiotherapy;

• Developing algorithms and workflows for image-guided adaptive radiation therapy, for both photon and proton treatments;

• Developing automatic QA techniques for MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy using MR-LINACs.

Candidates must hold a recent Ph.D. degree in physics, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, or related disciplines. Strong programming skills are essential. Previous experience in programming (MATLAB/Python/C/C++) and image processing is preferred. Knowledge in machine/deep learning and high-performance computing is a plus, but not required. Previous background in medical physics is NOT required. The candidate should demonstrate excellent written and communication skills. Successful candidates are also eligible to enroll in our CAMPEP-accredited didactic medical physics certificate program for free, whose curriculum covers the essential medical physics courses for individuals to enter the medical physics residency to become a professional medical physicist in the US.
