Who's Hiring
Top Industries Hiring
- Healthcare & Medical Services
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in chief medical physicist jobs.
- Master's or doctoral degree in medical physics or a closely related field
- American Board of Radiology certification in therapeutic or diagnostic medical physics
- Clinical experience commissioning and operating linear accelerators and treatment planning systems
- Proficiency with radiation therapy treatment planning software such as Eclipse or RayStation
- Knowledge of AAPM task group reports and NRC or state radiation safety regulations
- Leadership experience managing a medical physics team and overseeing departmental QA programs
Tips for Your Chief Medical Physicist Job Search
Tailor your CV to ABR board status
Hiring committees screen for American Board of Radiology certification before reading anything else. List your ABR part status, year of certification, and subspecialty areas in the first section of your CV, not buried under education.
Highlight your clinical modality breadth
Openings often specify linear accelerator experience, brachytherapy, or SBRT commissioning. Match your CV to the modalities named in each posting and quantify your commissioning or QA experience with specific equipment vendors where you can.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists chief medical physicist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Search by program size and case volume
A busy academic program and a community cancer center expect very different scopes of practice. Filter your search by institution type so your application speaks directly to the complexity and patient volume that matches your background.
Prepare a physics plan presentation
Many chief-level interviews include a presentation on your vision for the department's QA program or equipment pipeline. Prepare a 15-minute deck that addresses staffing ratios, TG-275 compliance, and your approach to vendor selection before your first on-site.
Negotiate startup funding, not just salary
Chief medical physicist offers often include a discretionary budget for equipment, software licenses, or staff training. Ask about this budget in your final-round conversation, since it rarely appears in the initial offer letter and is frequently negotiable.
Chief Medical Physicist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most chief medical physicists?
The most active employers for chief medical physicists right now are One Physics, Aspirus Health, and Texas Oncology, and the most openings are in Texas, Georgia, and Wisconsin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Academic medical centers and large cancer network affiliates tend to post the most volume at the chief level.
How many chief medical physicist jobs are remote?
About 0% of chief medical physicist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on clinical nature of most roles. The sub-areas most compatible with remote work include radiation safety consulting, physics plan review, and informatics or software quality assurance work, while direct linac oversight and QA rounds require on-site presence.
How do you become a chief medical physicist?
Start with a graduate degree in medical physics from a CAMPEP-accredited program, then complete a CAMPEP-accredited clinical residency to build hands-on experience across treatment planning, QA, and dosimetry. Sit for the American Board of Radiology certification exams, which require passing both written and oral components. After certification, build several years of staff-level clinical experience before pursuing a chief or director role, as most postings expect demonstrated leadership in departmental QA program management.
Can I get hired as a chief medical physicist with little experience?
Chief medical physicist roles almost always require ABR board certification and several years of post-residency clinical work, so entry straight from residency is rare. The most practical path is to join a department as a staff physicist, volunteer to lead specific QA protocols or equipment commissioning projects, and document those contributions explicitly on your CV before applying to chief-level openings.
What does the chief medical physicist interview process look like?
Most programs begin with a phone or video screen focused on your clinical background and board status, followed by an on-site visit that includes meetings with radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, and department leadership. Candidates for chief positions are routinely asked to deliver a formal presentation on their QA philosophy or a proposed department improvement initiative. A final offer conversation typically involves negotiation over startup resources, equipment budgets, and reporting structure, in addition to compensation.
Where can I find and apply to chief medical physicist jobs?
You can find and apply to chief medical physicist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from hospitals, cancer centers, and academic programs across the United States. Search for roles that match your modality experience and geographic preference, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background.
