About Us
Minneapolis Radiation Oncology (MRO) is the largest physician radiation oncology practice in the Upper Midwest. MRO has an opening for a full-time Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Medical Physicist to work at our Twin Cities Metro Radiation Therapy Centers. MRO currently has a physics group comprised of 16 physicists and 15 dosimetrists who provide radiation oncology physics services to eight departments in the greater Minneapolis & St. Paul metro area, with additional centers in Northern MN and Western WI. All clinical sites are accredited by the ASTRO APEx accreditation program. MRO is also currently in the process of developing a CAMPEP accredited physics residency program with the intent to establish the residency program clinically by Fall 2026.

The Role
This is a new position we are adding to our physics team to help learn and support special procedures system-wide, ultimately growing into an independent Staff Physicist role. This is an exciting opportunity for a board-eligible or newly board-certified junior physicist to work alongside senior physicists in a state-of-the-art environment across a multi-vendor environment, gaining experience in several platforms and technologies. In addition to honing your physics skills, you will have a role in mentoring the residents of our new CAMPEP program. We also provide Mock oral board exams for our junior physics staff, to help you feel prepared and comfortable for the ABR oral exam.
The successful candidate will be joining our cohesive physics group providing the full range of medical physics support for our Radiation Therapy Departments. This includes performing periodic calibration and QA for treatment machines, CT Simulators and image guidance systems. This position will also participate in and supervise patient specific QA, treatment planning/dosimetry for all SRS, SABR, & HDR treatment procedures, perform treatment chart checks and provide any additional support and consultation to radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, and therapists.
Clinic Information
MRO has aggressively invested in new equipment and technology to streamline clinical services and to deliver state-of-the-art radiotherapy to patients. Recent upgrades include eight new TrueBeam and VersaHD linear accelerators, CT simulators and new software solutions. Physicists are highly respected team members in all of our clinics, and physics equipment needs are strongly supported by management.
