  • Lead and execute experiments for isotope production and used nuclear fuel (UNF) recycling, applying techniques such as column chromatography, solvent extraction, and crystallization.
  • Ensure safe handling of radiological materials in compliance with ALARA principles.
  • Maintain and calibrate key analytical and radioanalytical instruments including ICP-MS, HPGe, LSC, a/ß spectrometry, and XRD.
  • Contribute to innovative research by drafting proposals for funding opportunities.

  • Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Radiochemistry, Nuclear Engineering, or a related field; Master's or Ph.D. preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience handling radioactive materials and operating radioanalytical instrumentation.
  • Minimum 3-5 years of experience in a radiological laboratory environment.
  • Prior work with UNF and expertise in separation science (e.g., solvent extraction, chromatographic separation) strongly preferred.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience writing technical proposals.

Eligibility for employment is conditioned on the applicant's ability to qualify for access to information subject to U.S. Export Controls. Additionally, applicant's eligibility may be conditioned based upon meeting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements for access to Safeguards Information, which typically requires a pre-employment drug screen, fingerprinting and criminal background check.
