ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES
As a Radioanalytical Chemist, you will play a direct and pivotal role in conducting experiments related to advanced nuclear technology. This position requires active engagement at the intersection of nuclear reactor development and innovative waste reduction technologies. We are seeking a candidate with a demonstrated proficiency in laboratory capabilities, particularly in experimental design and implementation.
In this role, you will assist in the synthesis of uranium-bearing molten salts used in many projects. Collaboration is essential, as this position interfaces with a dynamic, cross-functional, multi-cultural, and interdisciplinary team. Effective communication, teamwork, and collaboration are critical, with an emphasis on maintaining composure to ensure safety, data quality, and enable timely decision-making.
Key responsibilities include hands-on contributions to bulk production of uranium salts and preparation of samples needed for experiments. These activities directly support our development and understanding of molten salt chemistry, crucial for the transition to a demonstration reactor program. Specific expectations for the position encompass actinide salt synthesis, salt purification, salt analysis and characterization, and batched salt sample production.
If you are a highly skilled professional with a passion for contributing to groundbreaking advancements in the field of nuclear energy, we invite you to apply for this exciting opportunity to be a part of our innovative and impactful team.
The position will require good judgement in ensuring regulatory compliance while delivering on commercial production and engineering design needs. The candidate must be capable of working closely with a focused and high achieving group, working with minimal day-to-day supervision.
Conduct large scale laboratory synthesis of molten salts by performing chemistry and processes in high temperature molten salts Adhere to developed procedures to perform batched synthesis and purification of both coolant and uranium-bearing molten salts. Prepare molten salt samples with diverse compositions to be used in a variety of ongoing R&D projects. Prepare or assist with technical reports, peer review manuscripts, intellectual property documents and conference presentations. Maintain laboratory procedures (e.g., calibration, analytical methods, notebook results preparation, usage documentation). Perform all work in compliance with site safety and radiation protection guidelines, including effective teamwork and communication with health physicists, authorized users and RSO. Emphasize safety in new and existing designs and safe practices in all experimental activities. Perform other general duties associated with position as member of team to ensure ongoing effectiveness and continuous improvement of R&D efforts. ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS
One of the following two qualification criteria needs to be met:
a master's level degree in chemistry, radiochemistry, materials science, physics, or a related subject and 0-2 years of relevant experience, or a bachelor's level degree in related disciplines and 0-4 years of relevant experience
Demonstrated hands-on Chemistry laboratory experience. Laboratory experience in radiochemistry, inorganic synthesis, and/or radiochemical synthesis is strongly preferred but not required. Familiarity with at least 2 laboratory and characterization methods that include but are not limited to tube furnace operations, pressure vessel operations, ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and pXRD in addition to other common laboratory analytical techniques is desired. Demonstrated experience working in inert and moisture-free atmospheres, such as gloveboxes and Schlenk lines is a plus. Hands on experience in handling actinide salts in gloveboxes and fume hoods is a plus. Demonstrated performance within multifunctional teams and in the execution of complex projects is desired. Experience working and communicating productively in a multidisciplinary team including R&D, production, quality assurance, and engineering design functions. Ability to understand requirements (regulations, codes and standards, etc.), and incorporate them into documents. Strong organizational and communication skills including technical writing, presentation, and interpersonal skills. The successful candidate will possess a high degree of trust and integrity, communicate openly and display respect and a desire to foster teamwork.
