Researcher/Scientist: Analytical chemistry/Radiochemistry 1232 views

Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) invites applications for a Researcher/Scientist position in Analytical chemistry/Radiochemistry-Speciation of trace elements and radionuclides. The position is funded by CERAD CoE

Duration: 1 year position; with possible extension

Tasks and Responsibilities:

• Characterize radioactive particles with respect to composition, particle size distribution, structure and oxidation state of the carrying matrices, using 2D and 3D techniques
• Link the particle characteristics to specific sources
• Link particle characteristics to weathering rates utilizing defined extracting agents
• Utilize separation techniques for quantifying exotic radionuclides such as transuranics.

Qualifications:

• Applicants must have obtained PhD degree or equivalent qualifications in Radioecology, Nuclear Chemistry, Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences.
• Applicant must have experience in working with ionizing radiation or radionuclides as well as with solid state speciation techniques (SEM, synchrotron- radiation based techniques, X-ray).
• Applicant must possess good knowledge of the English language (both written and oral).
• Applicant must demonstrate good communication skills, both related to research and presentations in general.

Selection criteria:

• Competence with respect to ionizing radiation or radionuclides
• Experience with advanced technologies (X-ray or synchrotron radiation based techniques)
• Competence with respect to radiochemical separations

Application:

• Apply online or printed material which cannot be sent electronically should be sent by surface mail. Applications must include (electronically):
• Letter of intent
• CV
• Complete publication list
• Copies of degree certificates
• Transcripts of academic records (all certified)
• 2 references with phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
