Medical Physicist Jobs in North Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a medical physicist in North Carolina?
North Carolina requires medical physicists to hold a state license issued through the North Carolina Medical Board, and candidates must first complete a CAMPEP-accredited graduate program in medical physics followed by a CAMPEP-accredited residency. After residency, candidates sit for board certification through the American Board of Radiology. Once certified, they can apply for the North Carolina license, which is required before practicing clinically in the state.
Which companies hire medical physicists in North Carolina?
Employers hiring medical physicists in North Carolina right now include HannLeb Physics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and UNC Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. North Carolina's academic medical centers and large integrated health systems drive the majority of openings, particularly in radiation oncology and diagnostic imaging departments across the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Greensboro markets.
Which North Carolina cities have the most medical physicist jobs?
Chapel Hill, Concord, and Pinehurst have the most medical physicist openings in North Carolina. Raleigh-Durham leads because of the Research Triangle's concentration of academic medical centers and research institutions, Charlotte follows as the state's largest metro with multiple major hospital campuses, and Greensboro reflects the region's growing oncology and imaging footprint anchored by large regional health systems.
Are there remote medical physicist jobs in North Carolina?
Yes, but they're rare. Medical physics is a predominantly hands-on clinical role requiring on-site equipment calibration, quality assurance, and direct patient care support, so most positions require physical presence. About 75% of medical physicist openings tied to North Carolina are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those that do exist are most commonly in areas like dosimetry review, treatment plan checks, or research and consulting roles.
How can I get hired as a medical physicist in North Carolina with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a CAMPEP-accredited residency at a North Carolina institution such as Duke University Medical Center, UNC Hospitals, or Atrium Health, which regularly host residents across radiation oncology and diagnostic imaging. New graduates without a residency can target junior medical physicist or physicist assistant roles at regional cancer centers while pursuing board eligibility. Holding an active North Carolina license application in progress and strong hands-on graduate coursework strengthens a new candidate's profile considerably.
Where can I find and apply to medical physicist jobs in North Carolina?
