The Department of Radiation Oncology at Johns Hopkins Proton Therapy Center is seeking applications for its Proton Therapy Clinical Fellowship.

The fellowship provides comprehensive training in all aspects of proton radiation therapy. The fellow will gain extensive clinical experience in treating pediatric and adult patients with protons across a full range of disease sites, as well as in the technical and treatment planning aspects of proton therapy. Fellowship is not accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

Rotations will involve working with Johns Hopkins faculty at the Johns Hopkins Proton Therapy Center as well as additional practice sites. The fellowship program emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach with participation in tumor boards and multidisciplinary clinics.

Although the focus of the fellowship is clinical, the fellow will also have opportunities to participate in a robust research program. This includes national cooperative trials and investigator-initiated studies, as well as basic and translational research. Rotations are tailored and include opportunities in clinical, physics, radiobiology, imaging, and health services research programs.

Applicants must have completed a radiation oncology residency. Applicants from the United States are expected to be board-eligible in radiation oncology when they begin the fellowship. Exceptional international applicants who have completed a radiation oncology residency may be considered, depending on certification or licensing status. The fellow must obtain DC and Maryland physician licenses prior to start of fellowship.

Interested candidates are invited to apply with a letter of interest, a CV, and three references (or letters of reference).

This fellowship includes a competitive salary and benefits. Johns Hopkins Medicine is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer. Minorities, women, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
