Radiation Oncology anticipates the creation of a new position for a software engineer (scientific programmer / system analyst) to participate in the development of software for the graphical simulation of radiation treatment of cancer patients. The successful candidate will join an established collaborative group of medical physicists, phy- sicians, and computer scientists with the specific aim of producing clinically useful software tools for design and implementation of radiation treatments. A four-year degree in a physical science (physics preferred), computer science, or mathematics, or equivalent relevant experience is required. A strong background in scientific and/or system programming as demonstrated by a minimum of two years employment in a similar position is considered essential. Familiarity with the UNIX operating system, the C program- ming language, system design and integration, database design, interprocess communication, and interactive graphics is strongly preferred. Experience in data acquisition, pro- cess control, CAD, flight simulation, networking, PDP-11 assembler, and/or computer modeling of radiation interaction with matter will be a valuable asset. This position is to be grant funded for three years beginning April 1, 1986. Continued funding beyond that date will depend on the group's ability to attract additional grant money. The software engineer will be involved in the preparation of applications for continued funding.
