Subject: FW: Position Available for Division Head, Medical Physics, Tom Baker Cancer
Centre, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
DIVISION HEAD, MEDICAL PHYSICS
The Department of Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Calgary, in conjunction
with Alberta Health Services CancerControl Alberta, Tom Baker Cancer Centre, Calgary
Zone and the Southern Alberta Cancer Research Institute invite applications for a fulltime academic leader within the discipline of Medical Physics at the Associate Professor
level or higher. Duties include coordinating and leading the Division of Medical Physics
with its 11 faculty members to achieve excellence in research, teaching and patient care.
The Division of Medical Physics is one of ten divisions within the Department of
Oncology at the University of Calgary. Physicists within the division are funded by
Alberta Health Services and provide clinical physics services at the Tom Baker Cancer
Centre (TBCC). Approximately 4,000 patients per year receive radiotherapy on one of
the ten megavoltage units at the TBCC. The current therapy equipment includes 9
Varian linear accelerators (one is a TrueBeam and a second is in the process of being
replaced with a TrueBeam) and a Cobalt unit. All linear accelerators have multileaf
collimators and four (soon 5) have On-Board Imaging. Treatment preparation takes place
on one of two CT simulators or a conventional simulator with plans generated by the
Eclipse treatment planning system. There are fully-equipped Electronics and Machine
shops and dedicated IT support for ARIA and Eclipse applications. The TBCC supports
active clinical programs in IMRT, HDR and LDR brachytherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery
(with Novalis and iPlan) and IGRT. There are currently 11 faculty physicist positions at
the TBCC within a total Physics Department staff of 25. There are currently 10 graduate
students and two residents.
The division has a strong track record of research and education, and has CAMPEP
accredited programs for Medical Physics Graduate Student and Medical Physic Resident
education that are delivered jointly through a structured agreement from the
Department of Physics and Astronomy. The TBCC faculty teaches in several courses in
that department.
The Tom Baker Cancer Centre is a component of a provincial program of cancer control
through Alberta Health Services CancerControl Alberta. It is a tertiary referral centre and
the main cancer treatment, research and education facility for southern Alberta.
Through affiliations with the University of Calgary including the Southern Alberta Cancer
Research Institute, and the Calgary Zone, postgraduate training programs in most
oncology disciplines are provided. The Southern Alberta Cancer Research Institute
provides a strong focus for basic research.
Alberta Health Services is planning a new free-standing cancer centre in Calgary. Alberta
Health Services anticipates substantial growth in oncology services in Calgary. There is
an opportunity for the new leader to develop and implement an innovative vision for
Medical Physics within the overall cancer services mandate for the new state-of-the-art
cancer centre that will include dedicated in-patient units, a disease-site oriented
ambulatory care unit, wet and dry lab research facilities, rapid assessment units for
selected cancers, and dedicated diagnostic imaging and diagnostic laboratory facilities.
Increasing scholarly capacity will help the University of Calgary meet its strategic goal to
become one of Canada's top five research universities by 2016, where innovative
teaching and groundbreaking research go hand in hand, and where we fully engage the
communities we both serve and lead. The strategy is called Eyes High, inspired by the
university's Gaelic motto, which translates as 'I will lift up my eyes.'
The Calgary Zone comprises 4 teaching hospitals situated in the City of Calgary, and
serves residents of Southern Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan. The
Department of Oncology is part of the rapidly growing Faculty of Medicine. Calgary is a
vibrant, multicultural city (pop ~1.3 million) near the Rocky Mountains, Banff National
Park and Lake Louise.
Qualifications include a PhD in Medical Physics or Physics, at least 10 years of clinical and
leadership experience following the completion of training as a medical
physicist, membership in the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (or equivalent),
and a record of effective teaching and productive research. Recent previous experience
in a leadership role is an asset but not mandatory. A strong commitment to the highest
clinical standards and highly developed interpersonal, teamwork, organizational and
leadership skills are also required.
Review of applications will begin February 1, 2014 and continue until the position is
filled. Please submit a curriculum vitae and a statement of career goals together with
the names of three referees to:
Dr. Peter S. Craighead
Head, Department of Oncology, Medical Director, Tom Baker Cancer Centre

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and
permanent residents will be given priority. The University of Calgary and Alberta Health
Services respects, appreciates, and encourages diversity.
