Postdoctoral Fellow - Radiation Physics - Research
- Requisition #: 600662-202604291240
- Department: Radiation Physics - Research
- Location: Houston, TX
- Posted Date: 4/22/2026
A postdoctoral fellow position is available in Dr. Laurence Court's lab in the Department of Radiation Physics. In this project, we will use implementation mapping to identify strategies to maximize the adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the Radiation Planning Assistant in low- and middle-income countries, specifically Zambia, Indonesia, and South Africa, with a focus on palliative uses of radiation therapy. Implementation strategies will be developed in collaboration with local clinical teams. This position will be involved in all aspects of the research, including data collection, application of implementation science techniques, and actual deployment.
All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Implementation science. Through coursework, working with implementation science, and actual implementation planning, the trainee will learn all aspects of implementation science.
2. AI in radiation oncology. Specifically, the trainee will learn about how AI tools for radiotherapy are developed, benefits and weaknesses, and risks in implementation and clinical use. This will be through active participation with a research group that focuses on these factors.
3. Scientific communication. This will be through regular presentations, writing papers, and reports.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
PhD in physics, engineering, or other science field
