Departmental software includes the Mosaiq oncology information system, Philips Pinnacle (replacement pending), Elekta One Planning (Monaco + MIM), Epic electronic medical record system, and the Varian Velocity image registration and dose accumulation software. The medical physics group also provides coverage at four partner sites, one with an Elekta VersaHD linear accelerator and three with Varian linear accelerators including two TrueBeam systems. Candidates interested in executing complex clinical projects are strongly encouraged to apply.

The Department has three divisions: The Radiation Oncology Clinic, the Medical Physics division, and the Ph.D.-granting Free Radical Radiation Biology division. The Department has developed highly productive interdisciplinary collaborations that have resulted in federal research funding in multiple other departments including Electrical and Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Radiology. The Department has a successful research program and has multiple federally funded investigators with grants at the level of R21, R01, and SPORE. An XStrahl Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP) is available enabling cone-beam-CT-guided radiation therapy research using small animals at the Iowa Institute for Biomedical Imaging facility. A Public Private Partnership (P3) grant was obtained for the installation of a research-dedicated custom FLASH linear accelerator, with electron beam capability initially and with a planned upgrade to x-ray FLASH capability. The FLASH linear accelerator went live with electron capability in May 2025. Candidates with research interests that significantly contribute to the overall departmental academic effort are strongly encouraged to apply.

Carver College of Medicine, and University of Iowa Physicians. University of Iowa Health Care Medical Center serves as the main campus for University of Iowa Health Care and is one of the largest university-owned teaching hospitals in the United States and sits adjacent to the Iowa City Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. University of Iowa Health Care has recently expanded to include Medical Center Downtown (formerly known as Mercy), Medical Center North Liberty (new orthopedic hospital), and other locations across the state of Iowa. The faculty and staff of University of Iowa Health Care conduct biomedical research that has led to some of the most important discoveries in the treatment for cancer, heart attack, stroke, eye disease, hearing loss, genetic diseases, birth defects, and many other conditions. Through its educational mission, University of Iowa Health Care trains the next generation of global leaders in patient care, medical research, and education.

Located within the Carver College of Medicine, one of the top public medical schools in the country, the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center (HCCC) has a distinguished record in research, education, and clinical care.
