Job Description:
The Radiation Dosimetry Core and MRI Physics group at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) offer a postdoctoral research fellow or research associate position in MRI-guided radiotherapy. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Grace Tang, a leader in the development of MLC tracking techniques.

The main goal of the position is to develop real-time MRI-guided radiotherapy technology via MLC tracking on the MR-linac system for tumors affected by continuous motion. The work involves building machine control interfaces, experimental validations, and clinical feasibility testing.

The Department of Medical Physics consists of over eighty faculty physicists and computer scientists plus support staff working on various physical problems related to diagnosis and therapy for cancer, in partnership with radiologists, radiation oncologists, and other medical professionals. Medical Physicists in the diagnostic imaging physics track are actively engaged in several research programs that include molecular, MR and CT imaging as well as the new radionuclide therapies called theranostics. Examples include advanced MR acquisition techniques, motion correction, MR fingerprinting, artificial intelligence, and deep learning for image reconstruction in all imaging modalities. MSK is a world leader in imaging and theranostic research and supports one of the largest pre-clinical small animal core facilities in the United States that includes MR, PET, SPECT, CT, and ultrasound imaging equipment that provides a conduit for the translation of experimental techniques into clinical trials. One Elekta Unity MR-linac system, 9 Varian linacs, and 2 ETHOS systems at the Manhattan Campus of MSKCC.

Additional highlights include grant-funded research in quantitative MRI, hypoxia imaging, imaging drug delivery, and radionuclide dosimetry. Research and development in radiotherapy physics include the use of artificial intelligence for improved imaging and target localization, real-time tumor tracking, tissue segmentation, treatment planning, and adaptive radiotherapy.

Diagnostic, Nuclear, and MRI Medical Physicists play a key role in supporting all imaging devices throughout the MSK enterprise.
