Medical College of Wisconsin Physics Postdoctoral Fellowship and Certificate Programs
There are two different types of research programs available in the Department of Radiation Oncology.
- Postdoctoral Fellowship Program: The Postdoctoral Fellowship program primarily focuses on research opportunities available within the department. Postdoctoral Fellowship positions vary dependent on available research and research funding.
- Medical Physics Certificate Program: The Medical Physics Certificate Program is an internal only program available to qualified postdoc fellows wanting to transition to a medical physics career from a complementary PhD discipline. Candidates are hired as department staff under the job title Medical Physics Assistant I (MPA I). The MPA I staff member is required to complete research projects and perform routine clinical and patient plan QA as well as the opportunity to earn a CAMPEP-accredited medical physics certificate which, upon completion, will qualify them to apply to CAMPEP accredited residency programs.
Interested applicants can apply for any open positions through the MCW Careers page. Use keywords radiation oncology or Medical Physics Assistant I.
