Job Description: We have an opening for a hybrid research and radiotherapy physics residency position in the Department of Medical Physics, with a flexible start date for the right candidate. This is a hybrid residency program in which a two-year grant-funded research project is followed by a two-year clinical residency in radiotherapy physics. Those who enter the 4-year program without CAMPEP credentials will be enrolled in a CAMPEP Certificate program with full tuition support from the department. You will be required to complete a Certificate program during the first two years of the program before entering clinical training. Research for this position will be conducted under Dr. Xiang Li, Ph.D., DABR, on a project titled "Deep Learning Empowered Target Decomposition Technique for Markerless Intrafraction Motion Monitoring." You will be responsible for developing different deep-learning modules for this particular application, validating algorithms with clinical data, and preparing manuscripts for publication. You will also be able to participate in the other projects conducted by the research team as deemed fit.
