The LSU Department of Physics & Astronomy invites applications for an Assistant Professor in medical imaging physics, nuclear medicine physics (including theranostics), radiotherapy physics, and radiobiology. The successful candidate will join a strong Medical Physics and Health Physics Graduate Program that is a partnership between LSU and the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center.

Primary activities include research, teaching within the CAMPEP-accredited Program, and supervising MS and PhD students.  The position is an assistant professor appointment; exceptionally well-qualified candidates may be considered for an associate professor tenure-track position.

Research responsibilities include leading a vibrant, cutting-edge program in basic, applied, translational, or population-based research, and fostering collaborations within and beyond the Program faculty.  The candidate will have access to outstanding resources (e.g., radiotherapy and imaging devices, high-performance computing) and a generous startup package. Opportunities exist for clinical engagement to enhance research and teaching activities and help maintain Board certification, although clinical service is not required in the successful candidate's effort allocation. The appointment will be either a 100% academic position at LSU or a joint appointment combining the academic role at LSU with a small clinical service component at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, as appropriate for the successful candidate.
