Health Physics Northwest, a diagnostic physics consulting firm based in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area, is adding to our team of seven (7) diagnostic physicists. We provide support in general radiology, CT, mammography, MR, nuclear medicine, PET, ultrasound, and radiation shielding design. Board certification is not required. However, preference will be given to those who meet the ACR accreditation program personnel requirements for medical physicists in nuclear medicine and/or mammography.
The successful applicant will begin providing immediate support in the modalities for which these qualifications are met and competency and proficiency are demonstrated. The applicant will also begin immediate training in other modalities with focus on those with the most need.

We support clients primarily in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. However, we also work in Montana, Alaska, Wyoming, California, and Utah. This physicist would spend approximately seven nights a month outside of the Portland area.
This position includes a comprehensive benefits package including vacation time, sick time, health insurance (100% of premium paid by employer for employee and spouse), employer matching 401k, and private disability insurance.
