Location: The Ottawa Hospital, ON, Canada
Application deadline: July 15, 2026

The Radiation Medicine Program (RMP) of The Ottawa Hospital is seeking applications for a Clinical Fellow in Radiation Oncology with a specific focus on Breast and CNS malignancies beginning July 1, 2027. 

This is a year-long fellowship, at the end of which the fellow will have developed subspecialty expertise in the radiotherapeutic management of Breast and CNS malignancies. There will be a particular emphasis on advanced techniques used in both tumour sites, such as Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for local, regional, or distant tumour sites. The fellowship will combine clinical service with clinically oriented research, with a minimum of 50% of time protected for research activities. 

The specific objectives are to:
·        Develop subspecialty expertise in VMAT and SBRT for breast and CNS malignancies, including SRS/SBRT for the treatment of brain, spine, and oligometastatic disease.  
·        Participate in a comprehensive portfolio of multicentre and cooperative group trials, as well as local research studies.  
·        Attend and actively contribute to the Centre’s weekly multidisciplinary breast, neuro-oncology, and neurosurgery tumour boards.  
·        Conduct research projects in breast and/or CNS oncology, with the expectation of presenting findings at national or international meetings and producing at least two first-author peer-reviewed publications. Potential projects may include secondary analyses of existing intra-departmental datasets (e.g., partial breast irradiation cohorts), implementation of an MR-Linac breast study, or investigations involving surface-guided radiation therapy in collaboration with medical physics.  
·        Pursue optional short rotations in breast surgery to gain insight into surgical indications and techniques, and/or in medical oncology to enhance understanding of systemic therapies and ongoing clinical trials. 

Candidates must be competent in both spoken and written English. Applicants from Canada and abroad are welcome to apply but preference will be given to Canadian applicants or those with permanent residency status who have successfully completed board certification. 

To apply for this position, please send your cover letter, CV and three references to Jennifer Campbell, jencampbell@toh.ca, Administrative Assistant, Radiation Medicine Program. 

Application deadline: July 15, 2026
