Oak Ridge National Laboratory is seeking an outstanding scientific leader with depth and breadth of collaborative, innovative experience to support the Enrichment Science and Engineering Division (ESED) – Stable Isotope Research Development and Production Section (SIRDP) as a Plasma Enrichment Scientist to further advance plasma science behind electromagnetic isotope separation and the plasma separation process.
The successful candidate will plan and conduct research and development (R&D) to strategically advance plasma science and technology to support plasma-based enrichment systems including Electromagnetic Isotope Separation (EMIS). This position is expected to quickly integrate into the existing research team, learn the current state of the art in the ORNL deployed enrichment technologies, and overtime develop into a leader in the field.
The Technical Manager works directly with the NIDC staff and DOE IP program management to provide technical support on isotope production and distribution across multiple DOE production sites. The Technical Manager provides support on development of new isotope production activities and the associated distribution supply chains. Responsibilities include managing the accelerator isotope product line, coordinating production across the DOE IP accelerator production sites to effectively meet market demand, and regularly interfacing with customers who purchase these isotopes.
Argonne National Laboratory is seeking an Isotope Program Manager for our Radioisotope Research and Production Program (R2P2). The candidate will be responsible for managing the isotope science and engineering program within the Nuclear Technologies and National Security Directorate. This program focuses on the synthesis, recovery and purification of medical radioisotopes with exceptional promise for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The Isotope Program Manager will be the primary technical point-of-contact for Argonne with the Office of Isotope Research, Development and Production and be responsible for leading planning, including strategy development, and managing the day-to-day activities and personnel of the program. This role will lead a matrixed, cross-laboratory team and will work closely with the Isotope Production Manager and technical staff executing programmatic activities. The Program Manager will be responsible for guiding isotope research including the transition of new isotopes from R&D to production. The candidate will lead the development of experimental plans and safety documentation, experimentation and data analysis.
Oak Ridge National Lab is seeking a Senior Nuclear Engineer who will focus on the design and optimization of targets for irradiation to produce critical radioisotopes. Most of the target design effort will focus on irradiation in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), although design for other reactor targets or even accelerator targets may be required. You will be working with scientists, engineers, technicians, and safety and quality assurance staff to lead the design HFIR isotope production targets. A successful candidate for this position would be able to lead efforts to achieve specific isotope production objectives including HFIR target design, qualification, fabrication, irradiation, and post-irradiation chemical processing. We are seeking a person who can be a team player with excellent attention to detail, critical thinking ability, and strong communication skills.
The Yennello group 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-211 and 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. A quality assurance procedure for At-211 production will be developed over the tenure of this position. 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. For questions about this position, please contact yennello@tamu.edu
