Radioanalysis Instrumentation Specialist HSE-RP-CSLD

Introduction

Are you an expert in the domain of characterizing radionuclide inventories in components with radioanalytical and computational methods Are you interested in joining a dynamic multinational team of radiation protection specialists Take responsibility of radiation protection of some of our installations and projects from A to Z at the worlds largest particle accelerator complex and its experimental facilities. CERN Take Part!

You will join the Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental Protection (HSE) Unit which acts in matters of safety and the protection of personnel and environment. The Radiation Protection ( RP) Group protects workers and public against the risks of exposure to ionising radiation ensuring that exposure is kept as low as reasonably achievable. The duties of CERNs RP Group include the assessment of radiation hazards of CERNs activities encompassing accelerators and experiments the definition of protective measures the legally required monitoring of the exposure of radiation workers to ionising radiation as well as the R&D in the development and benchmarking of models and tools for radiological assessments.

Functions

As a Radiation Protection Physicist in the Characterization and Services Section (RPCS) you will execute projects studies and services aimed at assessing radiological risks from activated materials and waste comprising their radiological characterization by determining nuclide inventories with measurements and simulations.

In particular you will :

• Lead the RP radioanalytical laboratories activities including the coordination of consolidation and upgrade measures as required for upcoming major accelerator shutdown activities;
• Perform Radiation Protection research and development of novel measurement procedures for the radiological characterization of material and waste;
• Improve or establish quality assurance procedures and protocols for various analysis techniques (gamma spectroscopy alpha / beta counting radiochemical analysis);
• Produce contribute to or edit legal technical and scientific documentation. This includes rules specifications reports notes international publications and presentations for CERN internal or external use;
• Develop and maintain computational and mathematical models related to Monte Carlo particle transport simulations including computer codes for predicting radionuclide inventories and their potential outdiffusion from solid objects;
• Supervise or coordinate the work of technical personnel postdocs associates and students.
