Responsibilities
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, is currently recruiting a board-certified photon faculty medical physicist for the Division of Medical Physics within the Department of Radiation Oncology.
We are seeking applicants with a track record that demonstrates academic and clinical productivity, including clinical practice and project participation, collaboration, and leadership, as well as research productivity and commitment to educational service. A proven track record of successfully leading groups or projects is highly desirable. Successful candidates will have responsibility for and participate in all aspects of clinical coverage and QA for photon therapy procedures. The candidate will also be expected to participate in educational activities and consistently publish peer reviewed research.
The applicant will also be expected to submit a brief (<1000 words) research proposal. The research proposal should summarize the candidate’s research interests, goals, qualifications, potential for funding, and vision for synergistic collaboration with the other members of the Department of Radiation Oncology. Preference will be given to those candidates who have interests and qualifications consistent with key clinical, research and innovation initiatives including MR simulation and advanced MR applications in radiotherapy.
Facility and Equipment: The Radiation Oncology Medical Physics Division currently has 25 faculty medical physicists, 48 staff clinical medical physicists, 9 residents/fellows, 6 medical physicist assistants, along with several engineers and IT support. The Division is a seasoned and cohesive team responsible for all aspects of therapy medical physics in support of clinical practice, education and research in radiation oncology in Rochester and at 5 satellite facilities. The Medical Physics Division is noted for research in image guided radiation therapy, clinical application of advanced imaging modalities, radiomics, quality and safety, treatment delivery dosimetry and verification, development of novel treatment technologies, advances in brachytherapy, Monte Carlo techniques, particle therapy treatment planning and beam delivery, radiobiology and outcomes-informatics.
Equipment in our Department includes 15 Varian Truebeam/Edge/Ethos linacs including 7 with Hypersight, a Gamma Knife ICON, GE and Siemens CT simulators with wide bore and 4D capability, a 3T MRI, VariSource and Bravos HDR afterloaders, Varian Brachyvision for HDR planning, Variseed for LDR planning, XStrahl Orthovoltage, IntraOp Mobetron, Eclipse, ARIA and a full complement of dosimetry and detector systems for photon, proton and brachytherapy. Photon treatment procedures include all conventional radiation therapy modalities plus special procedures that include IORT, TBI, TSET, HDR, SRS, SBRT, SFRT, BH, Orthovoltage, LDR and IVBT treating over 6000 patients per year. Expansion of the Rochester-based photon clinical to add 3 additional vaults is underway, with a planned implementation of state-of-the-art treatment technology, including an MR-Linac. The proton center with a Hitachi synchrotron-based treatment system treats over 1200 patients per year in a facility adjacent to our photon radiation oncology clinic, and a 2-gantry proton expansion project with a second accelerator is underway.

Senior Level Medical Physicist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level medical physicist job?
Employers hiring at this level look for demonstrated ownership of clinical programs, board certification, and a history of leading quality assurance initiatives or multidisciplinary projects. Candidates who stand out typically have subspecialty depth in areas like stereotactic radiosurgery or MR-guided radiotherapy, peer-reviewed contributions, and evidence of mentoring junior physicists or residents. Tailoring your application to the clinical volume and equipment portfolio of each site strengthens your candidacy.
Which companies hire senior level medical physicists?
Companies hiring senior level medical physicists right now include Mayo Clinic, Aspirus Health, and Orlando Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hiring at this level tends to come from large academic medical centers, regional health systems, and radiation oncology groups with high patient volumes and complex treatment programs.
Are there remote senior level medical physicist jobs?
Yes, though most senior roles remain predominantly on-site given the hands-on nature of clinical physics work. About 0% of senior level medical physicist openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions typically involve treatment planning review, physics consulting, or dosimetry oversight rather than direct machine calibration or equipment commissioning.
What makes a medical physicist role senior level?
Senior level medical physicist roles are defined by independent clinical authority, not just task execution. At this stage, you own program-level decisions: commissioning new equipment, setting QA protocols, directing resident or student training, and serving as the primary physics resource for a radiation oncology team. The scope extends beyond individual patient plans to the systems and standards that govern how the entire department operates.
Which industries hire the most senior level medical physicists?
Senior Level medical physicist roles concentrate in Education and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they operate the high-complexity radiation therapy programs, research protocols, and multi-site clinical networks that require experienced physics leadership rather than supervised staff.
