The Isotope Program (IP) in the Inorganic Isotope & Actinide Chemistry group (C-IIAC) produces and purifies radionuclides for medical and industrial applications as well as for fundamental research. We are looking for a Research Technician to join the team supporting processing operations, program maintenance activities in the IP Hot Cell (HC) facility, and shipping radioactive materials. The HC facility is a laboratory designed to safely handle high dose rate radiological materials, and includes over a dozen telemanipulators to remotely handle these materials. Mission thrust areas within the team include supporting new materials and separation processes, development of processing methods, and applications of accelerator-produced radioisotopes. These materials are used for cutting edge medical treatments, imaging for cancer and heart disease, for industrial uses for example in oil and gas exploration, and in national security and government uses.
The Department of Chemistry and Physics at Alcorn State University is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Associate to contribute to ongoing research in radiochemistry and related fields. The incumbent will play an integral role in experimental design, data collection, and analysis, while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of scientists. Responsibilities include conducting literature reviews, writing progress reports and grant proposals, and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory guidelines. The Postdoctoral Associate will also participate in various phases of project execution, provide technical presentations, and assist with mentoring research assistants and students. The position requires proficiency with analytical methods such as HPGe, NMR, HPLC, SEM, and ICP-OES, as well as experience in synthetic chemistry, nanostructures, and ionizing radiation. A Ph.D. or ABD is required, with a strong background in chemistry, radiochemistry, and molecular biology approaches preferred.
The Isotope Program (IP) in C-IIAC is a mission critical program which produces and purifies radionuclides for medical and industrial applications as well as for fundamental research. We are looking for an Isotope Scientist to join the team supporting processing operations, research & development, and program maintenance activities in the IP Hot Cell (HC) facility. The HC facility is a laboratory designed to safely handle high dose rate radiological materials and includes over a dozen telemanipulator stations to remotely handle these materials. In addition, the chosen candidate will work in general laboratory space with specialized equipment to support isotope processing activities. Mission thrust areas within the team include supporting new materials and separation processes, development of processing methods, and applications of accelerator-produced radioisotopes. These materials are used for cutting edge medical treatments or imaging for cancer and heart disease, for industrial uses for example in oil and gas exploration, and in national security and government uses.
The Isotope Program (IP) in the Inorganic Isotope & Actinide Chemistry group (C-IIAC) produces and purifies radionuclides for medical and industrial applications as well as for fundamental research. We are looking for an experienced shipper to join the team and direct all aspects of logistics with respect to shipping and transporting materials at our production (Isotope Production Facility – IPF) and processing sites (Hot Cells wing). Our shipping team facilitates the transfer of highly active targets among accelerator, radiological and nuclear facilities on campus as well as off-site laboratories, ships our isotope products to customers all over the world, and the receipt of materials from external laboratories to our facilities for processing and R&D activities. These materials are used for cutting edge medical treatments, imaging for cancer and heart disease, industrial uses such as oil and gas exploration, and in national security and government applications.
The Radionuclide Production and Molecular Radiotherapy Research Laboratories in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) is seeking candidates for a full time Postdoctoral Scholar research position in radionuclide production for molecular radiotherapy. Our research group develops and evaluates radiochemistry methods that can be applied to produce and purify therapeutic and theranostic radionuclides, as well as development of radiolabeling reagents/chelators used for attaching radionuclides to biological targeting molecules, such as monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) for cancer therapy. Preclinical research in astatine-211-labeled MAbs conducted by our group has been translated to the clinic and is presently being evaluated in multiple human trials. This position will assist in developing new cancer therapies, commit to laboratory safety, and work independently. The incumbent will learn about radiochemical methods and work with radionuclides in the development of production methods and new radiopharmaceuticals. Our research is a team effort, and the candidate will be required to participate in a number of aspects of the research as desired and needed.
