The Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position as part of a DOE-sponsored program on radioisotope research and production with accelerator beams. The successful candidate will be invited to participate in an interdisciplinary research project involving the production, purification, and characterization of At-211and the incorporation of At-211 into inorganic and organometallic compounds. Candidates experienced in handling radioactivity are particularly encouraged to apply. Knowledge in synthetic inorganic and organometallic chemistry is also desirable even if not strictly required. The candidate should have strong writing and communications skills with the ability to work as part of a team. The successful candidates will also be expected to develop radiolabeling protocols for various compounds and to perform radiochemical separations. This position will involve the handling of radioisotopes that are beta, alpha, gamma, and/or PET emitters and may involve the handling of hazardous chemicals so attention to details is a must. The molecular aspects of the project will be carried out with input from (or under the joint supervision of) François Gabbaï. Interested persons should send a CV to Sherry Yennello (Yennello@tamu.edu).
The Centrifuge Engineering and Fabrication Section within the Enrichment Science and Engineering Division (ESED) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is seeking a Senior researcher in the area of Solid Mechanics for the Modeling and Data Science Group. The Senior Solid Mechanics Researcher will develop analysis approaches and perform analysis on the mechanical components of gas centrifuges in support of centrifuge research and development (R&D), design activities, and troubleshooting of experimental and test facilities.
The Testing Science and Cascade Engineering Section within the Enrichment Science and Engineering Division (ESED) is seeking a Research Professional – Senior EI&C Engineer for the Electrical, Instrumentation, and Controls Engineering Group.
