The Research Equipment Technologist II – Isotope Harvesting Program (IHP) will support overall documentation, operation, maintenance, and repair of lab equipment relevant to isotope harvesting, quality control, and radiochemical separation/ purification processes.
Michigan State University (MSU) operates the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC). FRIB provides researchers with one of the most advanced tools of modern science to study rare isotopes, or short-lived nuclei not normally found on Earth. Hosting what is designed to be the most powerful heavy-ion accelerator, FRIB enables scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications for society, including in medicine, homeland security, and industry. MSU’s nuclear physics graduate program is a top-ranked program nationally, according to U.S. News & World Report.
