Senior Dosimetrist
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, etc. Also remove application instructions. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Reporting to the Chief of Dosimetry and the Director of Clinical Physics Operations the Senior Dosimetrist is responsible for performing and delegating patient-specific medical dosimetry tasks. The Senior Dosimetrist helps prepare the team for integration of future innovations such as artificial intelligence, remote dosimetry, and other disruptive technologies. Working closely with departmental leadership, the Senior Dosimetrist is central in driving clinical excellence, safety, efficiency, and innovation across the system. Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a leader in life changing breakthroughs in cancer research and patient care. We are united in our mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS, and related diseases. We strive to create an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment where we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all backgrounds, and design programs to promote public health particularly among high-risk and underserved populations. We conduct groundbreaking research that advances treatment, we educate tomorrow's physician/researchers, and we work with amazing partners, including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.
That's about the organization and role. Could be "About the role" or "About the institute". Use About the role
maybe.
Then Primary Duties And Responsibilities: includes Patient Care, Treatment Planning, Leadership and Management, Teaching, Training, and Research. That's responsibilities.
Then Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list of skills.
Then Minimum Job Qualifications: list of qualifications.
Then License/Certification/Registration Required: board certification required (already mentioned). Supervisory Responsibilities: None. Patient Contact: Yes, may have occasional contact...
Then At Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, we work every day... (mission statement). That's maybe part of About.
Then EEO etc: remove.
Then Pay Transparency Statement: includes salary range $161,500.00 - $179,500.00. So we have Pay section.
No explicit Benefits or Schedule mentioned. So we should not create those sections.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with no content.
Thus sections: About the role (or About the institute), Responsibilities, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (maybe Skills), Minimum Job Qualifications (Qualifications), Pay.
We could combine Knowledge, Skills And Abilities as Skills section.
Minimum Job Qualifications as Qualifications.
Responsibilities as Responsibilities.
About the role: combine the initial paragraphs about role and location/mission.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content.
Let's extract prose for About the role:

That's good.
Now Responsibilities: we have Primary Duties And Responsibilities with subcategories. We can create a
with each duty as - . Could break down each bullet.
Let's list duties:
Patient Care:
- Perform and supervise patient-specific dosimetry tasks, ensuring safe and accurate radiation treatments.
- Work alongside dosimetrists, radiation oncologists, radiation therapists and physicists to support treatment planning, simulation, image processing, and treatment delivery.
- Support and evaluate the implementation of advanced procedures such as IMRT, IGRT, SBRT.
- Participate in departmental chart reviews, clinical trials, and national protocols, providing necessary documentation.
Treatment Planning:
- Responsible for specific disease sites.
- Collect and analyze patient data and design optimal approaches for treatments.
- Responsible for basic dose calculation and 2D, 3D, IMRT, SBRT, SRS/SRT using treatment planning software on several different platforms.
- Interact with radiation oncologists to define target volumes and critical structures.
- Participate in the implementation of new techniques and treatment modalities for radiation therapy.
- Participate in clinical research and data submission for clinical trials.
Leadership and Management:
- Serve as a member of the dosimetry team, providing expertise in treatment planning.
- Help with integrating new technologies, including AI-assisted planning and remote dosimetry workflows.
- Participate in departmental quality improvement initiatives and committees.
- May be required to lead specific disease site treatment planning efforts, which include participating in disease site clinical meetings, leading and updating disease site in-services, training and cross training new hires and co-workers, serving as a liaison between physicians and the planning group for a specific disease site.
Teaching, Training, and Research:
- Provide or delegate training and educational support for dosimetry students, physician residents, physics residents, and radiotherapy students.
- Keep the dosimetry team informed of departmental policies, procedures, and innovations.
- When appropriate, participate in research and development projects in collaboration with faculty members.
We can combine into a single list or separate subheadings? The instruction: use
for section headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. It doesn't forbid subheadings inside a section, but we should not create extra headings unless they correspond to a section heading (like About the role, Responsibilities, etc). Could we include subheadings as
? Not allowed; only for section headings. Better to keep one for responsibilities, each duty as - . Could combine all duties into one list.
Now Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list items.
Let's extract:
- Understanding of diverse treatment sites and techniques.
- Positive attitude, strong work ethic, and ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.
- Strong problem-solving skills and desire to drive safety, efficiency, and quality improvements.
- Advanced knowledge of treatment planning principles, dose calculation algorithms, plan optimization, beam geometry, and machine/MLC characteristics across photon and electron energies.
- Expertise in SBRT/SRS planning, immobilization considerations, PTV/OAR trade-offs, heterogeneity corrections, and end-to-end plan QA in conjunction with Physics.
- Ability to design and standardize planning templates, checklists, and peer-review processes to improve safety, reduce variability, and increase throughput.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to collaborate effectively with physicians, physicists, therapists, nurses, and IT to achieve consensus and resolve issues.
- Commitment to patient safety, quality, and confidentiality; maintains professionalism and resilience under pressure.
- Proficiency in treatment planning systems, image fusions, contouring, and oncology information system workflows.
- Commitment to advancing the field of dosimetry through innovation and continuous improvement.
- Programming skills preferred, particularly for developing scripts and automation tools to improve treatment planning workflows.
We'll put these as
- .
Minimum Job Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree required.
- Completion of a Medical Dosimetry Program (post-BSc degree) required.
- Master’s degree in Physics, Computing or Math preferred.
- 3 years of clinical experience in medical dosimetry required.
- Demonstrated leadership/management experience for at least one disease site.
- Current board certification in Medical Dosimetry (CMD) required.
License/Certification/Registration Required repeats board certification; we can note it's required but we already have it. Could mention as part of Qualifications.
Patient Contact: "Yes, may have occasional contact with radiation therapy patients, as requested by therapists and physicians." Could be a note in Responsibilities or a separate
under Responsibilities? Might be better to include as a
under Responsibilities or as a separate note. Since it's not a list, we can add a
after the list.
Supervisory Responsibilities: None - we could note as a
but it's basically no supervisory responsibilities. Might be considered filler? It's substantive: states none. Could include as a
under Responsibilities or Qualifications. Probably include as a
under Responsibilities: "Supervisory responsibilities: None."
Now Pay: we have salary range.
