The Physics Department at Hampton
University Proton Therapy Institute (HUPTI) is seeking a

Medical Physicist to learn and work
on proton therapy with other professional and support staff.

HUPTI is the nation’s 8^th    proton therapy facility and the largest free standing proton clinic in the
world. The state-of-the-art treatment and research center has four gantry rooms
and one fixed beam room dedicated for prostate treatments. HUPTI has been

cancers since August, 2010. We have Proteus 235 (cyclotron-IBA), VeriSuite for
IGTR, Mosaiq Oncology Information System (Elektra), Eclipse Proton Treatment
Planning system (Varian) and 4D-PET/CT for simulation (Philips). We also have
collaborative research projects with Philips. HUPTI has been credentialed by
RPC for the use of proton therapy in NCI-funded clinical trials.

Our Proteus 235 system is equipped with IBA’s universal nozzles. We are currently using Uniform Scanning/Double
Scattering delivery techniques for five treatment rooms. Commissioning for
pencil beams scanning in two gantry rooms is underway.


The Medical Physicist will work with other physics and dosimetry staff in the general
medical physics/dosimetry duties pertaining to operating a proton radiotherapy
clinic. The prospective candidate will participate in the machine and patient
specific quality assurance programs, commissioning and acceptance testing for
all proton therapy machines and PET/CT system.

A Ph.D. or MS degree in physics or medical physics is required. This is a minimum
