Rare Isotope Scientist positions at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams
22 September 2023
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Laboratory is searching for PhD-level experimental nuclear scientists to fill three open permanent positions as rare isotope scientists. FRIB offers scientific users access to over 4,000 different rare isotope beams at low to high energy. The rare isotope scientist position supports operation and upgrade of the ARIS fragment separator used to supply those beams. We are looking for individuals with a diverse background, as there is the opportunity in this position to apply a wide range of experimental techniques from heavy ion detectors to application of machine learning techniques. In addition to ARIS operation, the successful applicant is encouraged to pursue leading research in rare isotope science or related scientific fields.

Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor of Nuclear Engineering, Fall 2024 - The University of Tennessee - Knoxville: Knoxville Academic Units: Tickle College of Engineering: Nuclear Engineering
14 September 2023
Description
The Tickle College of Engineering (TCE) at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) is seeking applications to fill a faculty position at the Assistant, Associate, and/or Full Professor level in 2024. This initiative is part of an approved cluster hire to bolster UTK's strength in the development and use of radioisotopes in all related fields, such as but not limited to, radiochemistry, isotope production, and chemical modification of isotopes. Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated research success in one or more of these areas with the vision to develop collaborative research activities, and are committed to high-quality undergraduate and graduate student education.
The radioisotopes cluster hire aligns well with the current initiatives at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and UT-Oak Ridge Innovation Institute (UT-ORII). At ORNL, $158M has recently been appropriated to construct a Stable Isotope Production and Research Center as well as a Radioisotope Processing Facility to expand domestic production of critical isotopes vital to the mission of many federal agencies, such as NIH, NASA, DoD, ODNI, NIST, DHS, NNSA, NSF, and others. The selected candidate(s) will choose which TCE department they will join and partake in filling the remaining position(s). The long-term plan for hires within this cluster include 1) development of new radiochemistry labs, 2) development of enhanced radioisotope curriculum and establishment of a summer school in collaboration with partners at ORNL and UT-ORII, 3) expand partnerships with local hospitals, veterinary centers, and/or businesses with interests in isotope use and research, and 4) establishment of transformational campus-based research center(s).
Qualifications
Applicants must have a doctorate degree in a related field and relevant experience to be hired at the Assistant, Associate, or Full level. Applicants must be able to contribute to existing courses in the chosen TCE department, advise/train graduate students in the production and/or use of radioisotopes, provide service to the university and community, contribute to current research activities in radioisotopes, and develop new avenues of research and teaching.
Candidates for Assistant Professor should have a demonstrated potential to succeed as a junior faculty at a state flagship campus.
Candidates for Associate Professor should have a demonstrated record of publishing in appropriate journals, securing and executing externally funded research, and internal and external service to their professional community
Candidates for Full Professor should have a demonstrated record of publishing in appropriate journals, securing and executing externally funded research, and internal and external service to their professional community. In addition, the candidate should have national/international recognition in their field of study.
Preferred/Desired Qualifications include previous experience in graduate student advising, course instruction/development, and establishing and/or managing an isotope production facility or research center.
The Knoxville campus of the University of Tennessee is seeking candidates who have the ability to contribute in meaningful ways to the diversity and intercultural goals of the University.
Application Instructions
Applications should include (1) a curriculum vitae, (2) a select subset of publications, (3) a research statement outlining previous and future directions, (4) a teaching and mentoring statement, (5) a letter articulating the applicant's interest in and qualifications for this position, and (6) the names of three to five references. Applications will be reviewed continuously, and the first position may be filled as early as January 2024. Any additional questions may be sent to Dr. Eric Lukosi (search committee chair) at elukosi@utk.edu.
