Join Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in collaboration with the University of Tennessee (UT) Oak Ridge Innovation Institute (ORII) Convergent Research Initiative as we pioneer the future of radiopharmaceutical therapies. We're seeking passionate early career scientists to contribute to groundbreaking research at the intersection of radiochemistry, chemistry, nuclear medicine, and biomedical engineering. This initiative aims to revolutionize the development and translation of radiopharmaceutical therapies for clinical applications through interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge innovation.
The research will focus on the advancement of radionuclide production and radiopharmaceutical development for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and we are looking to fill positions in:
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.
The University of Washington is seeking a passionate and dedicated candidate to join the Molecular Radiotherapy Research Laboratory in the Department of Radiation Oncology in the capacity of Research Scientist/Engineer, focusing on radiopharmaceutical chemistry. This role is pivotal to interdisciplinary collaborative research efforts. Preference will be given to candidates with a background in synthetic chemistry, antibody conjugation and radiochemistry. UW will provide all necessary training to ensure the successful candidate is equipped to excel in this role.
This position supports the development of novel reagents, including monoclonal antibody-based reagents. Additionally, this position is responsible for laboratory equipment maintenance, chemical inventory management and laboratory safety compliance. The position supports the efforts of preclinical and clinical studies as well as applications in diagnostic and targeted radionuclide therapy. Ultimately, this provides support for the patient care and advancement of care for cancer patients.
The BNL Isotope Group, which is part of the Medical Isotope Research and Production Program (MIRP), has an opening for an Assistant Scientist to aide in targetry development, isotope separations, radioanalytical techniques, evaluation, and development of new radioisotopes, and expanding the program into new areas. The Assistant Scientist will also participate in a DOE-sponsored program on radioisotope research and production with accelerator beams. We are seeking outstanding candidates in radiochemistry or nuclear chemistry to perform laboratory research involving the production and purification of accelerator formed radioisotopes. This position has a high level of interaction with an international and multicultural scientific community.
The main program focus is to produce and distribute radioisotopes for nuclear medicine research and clinical practice, and to develop radioisotopes for new applications in medicine and science. The group’s major facilities include the Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer (BLIP), and a fully equipped hot laboratory with hot cells, radiochemistry research laboratories, and analytical equipment. The BLIP utilizes high intensity proton beams of up to 200 MeV. The MIRP program resides in the Collider-Accelerator Department.
