• Knowledge of methods and procedures used to monitor internal and external radiation exposures, specifically in recognition and evaluation of records that, either directly or indirectly, may be used to retrospectively reconstruct occupational radiation doses.
• Experience with DOE facilities and AEC, ERDA, and DOE records systems.
• Advanced degrees and certifications, such as a master’s in health physics or a related field.
• CHP certification or on track to achieve certification.

Requirements

• Minimum bachelor’s degree in health physics, environmental or natural sciences, or related field. Experience as a Radiological Control Technician (RCT) or Health Physics Technician (HPT) will also be considered in lieu of a formal degree.

• Familiarity with basic statistics and/or mathematical modeling.
• Familiarity with radiation dose modeling software such as IMBA or Varskin is preferred.
• Excellent writing and communication skills.
• Strong knowledge of MS Office software.
• This role is remote and requires the selected candidate to be a U.S. citizen for specific government contract.

Benefits

• The pay range for this position is $75,000 to $95,000 per year. Base pay offered may be higher or lower depending on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and location of the candidate.
