The successful applicant will initially support research and development projects at SRNL. The successful applicant will work or learn to work with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) and thermal ionization mass spectrometers (TIMS). These instruments will be used to measure and quantify ultra-low levels of radionuclides in environmental samples to support a wide variety of applications. There will be opportunities to learn about different environmental samplers, about collecting samples in different locations, and about the development of software and methods for statistical evaluation of mass spectrometric data. SRNL advances technologies that enhances global security, assists with nuclear safeguards and nuclear nonproliferation applications, and address complex legacy challenges across the Department of Energy’s complex.\n Planning and overseeing the safe execution of the work or technical activities.\nDeveloping research proposals with new research ideas to bring new work scope and funding to SRNL for yourself and your team members.\nCommunicating task requirements, project status, risks, and outcomes to team members and sponsors.\nPerforming impactful research that can be published in peer-reviewed publications.\nParticipating in the development of hazards analysis reports and work control documents for research activities.\nPerform ion exchange chromatography of environmental samples.\nOperate both inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (quadrupole-based and multi-collector ICP-MSs) and thermal ionization mass spectrometers.\nMeasure samples to support different R&D project tasks and milestones.\nWrite scripts for the statistical evaluation of both measured and synthetic data.\n Minimum Qualifications:\nMasters + 6-8 years of experience or PhD + 3-5 years of experience in Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Geochemistry, Nuclear Engineering, Data Science, Physics, or equivalent STEM field.\nDemonstrated ability to perform scientific research or experimental design.\nStrong problem-solving abilities and attention to technical detail.\nFor ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, US Citizenship is Legally Required\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience operating and troubleshooting plasma source and thermal ionization mass spectrometers.\nExperience in nuclear materials processing, radiochemical separations, waste treatment technologies, or radiological operations.\nExperience with seeking external funding.\nExperience in DOE laboratory environments, nuclear facilities, or regulated high-hazard operations.\nStrong publication record.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2921,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Manufacturing","Science
