Research physicist vs experimental physicist

Differences between research physicist and experimental physicist duties and responsibilities

Research physicist example responsibilities.

• Foster cross laboratory collaboration between physics labs and between engineering, biology, and chemistry departments to accomplish share goals.
• Design and oversee construction of flow loop for development of multi-phase NMR flowmeter.
• Develop and conduct technologists' training on MR QC, QA and safety programs.
• Commission of ArcCheck (SunNuclear) for patient-specific QA of IMRT, RapidArc, and SBRT as medical physics resident.
• Perform all aspects of LDR brachytherapy procedures using VariSeed 8.0 under the supervision of the physician and three ABR certify physicists
• Commission TrueBeam Linac system as medical physics resident.

Experimental physicist example responsibilities.

• Conduct simulation and modeling using ALEGRA-MHD and CTH computational codes to study non-ideal plasma and penetration.
• Produce detailed solid models of components and systems that are used for both parametric analysis (FEA).
• Hire as part of a team of physicists and engineers testing specific theories relating to IEC fusion energy.
• Specialize in performing and evaluating radiation shielding calculations for radiation oncology facilities under the guidance of a qualify health physicist.
• Service on review panels for projects at DARPA and NSF.
