Remote 3D Post Processing Radiology Jobs in Reno, NV

Location: Remote — anchored to Oak Ridge, Tennessee
Engagement: Contingent consulting/project-based assignment
Anticipated compensation: $150–$300 per hour or a negotiated fixed price for a defined work package
Travel: International travel may be required
Opportunity: USTDA Global Critical Minerals Project Scoping Services

Axyde Analytics is assembling a multidisciplinary expert cadre for a time-sensitive proposal to the U.S. Trade and Development Agency. If Axyde receives the award, USTDA may request support evaluating prospective international mining, mineral-processing, refining, infrastructure and critical-mineral supply-chain projects.

For GCM-2, Axyde is seeking a senior specialist with substantial, directly evidenced experience addressing radiological risk in mining, mineral processing or related industrial operations, particularly:

• Uranium and thorium

• Naturally occurring radioactive material

• Technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material

• Radiation protection and exposure control

• Radioactive residues, tailings and process streams

• Nuclear-material safeguards and regulatory considerations

This is a deliberately narrow technical requirement. The specialist may work within broader mining, processing, environmental and regulatory teams, but selection for GCM-2 will be based primarily on demonstrated depth in radiological and nuclear-mineral risk.

This is not a general environmental, health and safety, industrial-hygiene, hazardous-materials or mining position. General EHS experience will not substitute for directly relevant radiological experience.

Depending on the assignment, the specialist may:

• Identify uranium, thorium, NORM or TENORM risks associated with mineral deposits, concentrates, process streams, residues, tailings and products.

• Evaluate radiological implications of rare-earth, heavy-mineral-sands, phosphate, uranium or polymetallic projects.

• Review radiation-survey, dose-assessment, sampling, laboratory and monitoring information.

• Evaluate occupational and public-exposure pathways, including inhalation, ingestion, direct radiation and environmental transport.

• Assess radiation-protection programs, monitoring plans, engineering controls, administrative controls and personal protective measures.

• Review radioactive-material handling, storage, transportation, residue management and disposal assumptions.

• Evaluate tailings and waste-management approaches involving radioactive constituents.

• Identify host-country regulatory, permitting, licensing, safeguards and institutional-capacity requirements.

• Compare proposed practices with applicable U.S. and internationally recognized radiological-protection principles.

• Review project assumptions involving uranium or thorium recovery as a primary product, coproduct, byproduct or regulated waste constituent.

• Identify data gaps, testing requirements, regulatory uncertainties and conditions for responsible project advancement.

• Contribute to scopes of work, terms of reference, budgets, schedules, monitoring plans and technical-risk registers.

• Prepare or independently review concise, decision-grade technical findings and recommendations.

• Participate in remote meetings, stakeholder discussions and international site visits when required.

Applicants must demonstrate meaningful experience in one or more of the following:

• Uranium exploration, mining, processing, recovery or remediation.

• Thorium-bearing mineral systems.

• NORM or TENORM evaluation and management.

• Radiological characterization of ores, concentrates, residues, tailings or industrial process streams.

• Radiation protection, health physics or dose assessment.

• Radiological sampling, monitoring, laboratory analysis or data validation.

• Radioactive waste, residue or tailings management.

• Rare-earth or heavy-mineral processing involving uranium or thorium coproducts.

• Nuclear-material safeguards, accountability, licensing or regulatory compliance.

• Radiological environmental assessment, remediation or closure planning.

Applicants must distinguish their personal technical contributions from the work performed by the broader project or organization.

DO NOT SUBMIT A GENERAL RÉSUMÉ.

The submitted résumé must clearly identify:

• At least two directly relevant radiological, uranium, thorium, NORM or TENORM projects.

• The minerals, materials, facilities or process streams involved.

• The radiological hazards or regulatory issues evaluated.

• The applicant’s personal role and technical responsibility.

• The specific surveys, models, assessments, controls, designs or reviews performed.

• The applicable project scale and operating environment.

• Technical reports, permits, safety analyses, monitoring plans or recommendations personally produced.

• Measurable outcomes, regulatory decisions or risk reductions, where available.

A résumé that merely lists environmental compliance, industrial hygiene, hazardous materials, mining safety or nuclear-sector proximity without demonstrating substantive radiological responsibility will not be advanced.

Breadth is not rewarded for GCM-2 unless the required radiological or nuclear-mineral depth is first established.

• Advanced degree in health physics, nuclear engineering, radiological science, environmental engineering, mining engineering, geochemistry or a closely related discipline.

• Certified Health Physicist, Professional Engineer or comparable professional credential.

• Experience with uranium, rare-earth, phosphate or heavy-mineral-sands projects.

• Familiarity with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, International Atomic Energy Agency or comparable host-country requirements.

• Experience evaluating projects in emerging markets or jurisdictions with developing regulatory institutions.

• Experience preparing independent technical reviews, feasibility-study inputs, environmental assessments or lender/investor due diligence.

• Experience preparing English-language reports for government, financial or executive decision-makers.

Applicants must:

• Be a U.S. citizen or a non-U.S. citizen lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States.

• Be potentially available to begin supporting an authorized assignment within approximately 20 days, subject to final scheduling.

• Be willing and able to travel internationally when an assignment requires it.

• Identify any country, customer, travel, employment, security, export-control or conflict-of-interest restrictions.

• Be able to perform without using or disclosing classified information or proprietary information belonging to another employer or client.

• Authorize Axyde to tailor and reformat the submitted résumé without materially changing the applicant’s qualifications.

A current or former security clearance may be relevant to certain experience but is not required unless a future assignment expressly states otherwise.

This announcement supports proposal and contingent-workforce planning. It does not guarantee employment, contract award, minimum hours or a specific assignment. Any engagement will remain subject to contract award, assignment requirements, final role alignment, eligibility, availability, mutually acceptable compensation and execution of appropriate engagement documentation.

Submit a résumé specifically tailored to uranium, thorium, NORM, TENORM or radiological-risk work. Include a short statement identifying:

1. Your strongest radiological or nuclear-mineral subspecialty.

2. The minerals, materials and facilities with which you have worked.

3. Two directly relevant projects and your personal technical contribution.

4. Your current location.

5. Your U.S.-citizen or lawful-permanent-resident status.

6. Your international-travel availability.

7. Your anticipated hourly rate or fixed-work-package preference.

Applicants who cannot demonstrate direct depth in radiological or nuclear-mineral risk should not apply to GCM-2.
