We are seeking an Inventory Control Specialist in the National Isotope Development Center (NIDC) whose primary responsibilities are to maintain an up-to-date inventory for all isotopes produced within the U.S. Department of Energy Isotope Program (DOE IP) production network and to ensure physical inventories reported by each production sites align with data stored in the NIDC’s enterprise resource planning system, SAP. This individual will also collaborate with NIDC colleagues on numerous cross-cutting tasks that benefit from their insights on isotope inventory data collection and tracking practices.
This position resides in the NIDC in the Isotope Science and Engineering Directorate (ISED), at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The NIDC provides numerous corporate services to the DOE IP and serves as its business interface, regularly communicating with the isotope user community and coordinating isotope production across numerous program facilities (including ORNL).
We are seeking a Technical Manager in the National Isotope Development Center (NIDC) whose primary responsibilities are to provide technical support to NIDC staff in the areas of isotope production, processing, and distribution; manage the Legacy Isotope & Heavy Element isotope product line; and regularly interface with customers who purchase these isotopes. This position has also traditionally provided subject matter expertise to the U.S. Department of Energy Isotope Program (DOE IP) network in the area of transportation and logistics.
This position is within the Effluent, Waste, and Transportation (EWT) group of the Environmental Protection and Regulatory Programs (EPRP) Division. The purpose of EPRP is to enable the science and technology mission(s) of the Laboratory by assessing and controlling the impact of Laboratory activities, R&D projects, and facilities on the environment, public, and employee health and safety. EPRP performs regulatory analysis and develops Laboratory systems to assist staff in achieving compliance and demonstrating excellence with respect to environmental, waste, and transportation requirements.
This position will provide expert knowledge, regulatory interpretation, and technical/engineering skill to enable the safe, secure, and efficient packaging and transportation of hazardous material (explosive, chemical, biological, radiological) and waste for onsite or offsite shipment in support of Laboratory operations.
Radiochemist technical professional, you will be supporting the largest radioisotope production and research portfolio within the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science for Isotope R&D and Production (IP), as well as extensive isotope production programs for the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy and National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA), this position will grant you the opportunity to work with rare nuclear materials and ensure the safe and effective execution of nuclear materials processing. The highly accomplished staff within the RSTD use the unique facilities at ORNL, including the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and the Radiochemical Engineering Development Center (REDC), to produce a variety of important medical, scientific, and industrial radioisotopes. These include several alpha emitting radioisotopes either deployed or under clinical trial for treatment of cancer (e.g., Ac-225, Ac-227); heavy actinides Bk-249, Es-254, and Fm-257 for fundamental chemistry research and new element discovery; Cf-252 for neutron emitting applications; and Pu-238 for space exploration. The bulk of the work carried out by the RPD resides in the REDC, a category two nuclear facility with glovebox labs and heavily shielded processing hot cells.
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 Stable Isotope Enrichment Group is seeking a Staff Technician who will focus on operations and development associated with the enrichment of stable isotopes. This position is part of the Enrichment Science and Engineering Division and serves the nation by advancing enrichment technologies and providing enriched stable isotopes products. We lead the science and production process development for delivering stable isotopes for medical, industrial, and DOE mission critical applications. As part of our team, you will work closely with a focused group of scientists, engineers, and technicians on challenging, fast-paced technical projects and operations in support of the DOE Isotope Program, and specifically associated with the rapidly growing field of stable isotope enrichment.
The Radionuclide Production and Molecular Radiotherapy Research Laboratories in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) is seeking candidates for a full time Postdoctoral Scholar research position in radionuclide production for molecular radiotherapy. Our research group develops and evaluates radiochemistry methods that can be applied to produce and purify therapeutic and theranostic radionuclides, as well as development of radiolabeling reagents/chelators used for attaching radionuclides to biological targeting molecules, such as monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) for cancer therapy. Preclinical research in astatine-211-labeled MAbs conducted by our group has been translated to the clinic and is presently being evaluated in multiple human trials. This position will assist in developing new cancer therapies, commit to laboratory safety, and work independently. The incumbent will learn about radiochemical methods and work with radionuclides in the development of production methods and new radiopharmaceuticals. Our research is a team effort, and the candidate will be required to participate in a number of aspects of the research as desired and needed.
