[ RadSafe ] Post Doctoral Fellow

[Gary H Kramer]

Greetings

The Human Monitoring Laboratory (
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/radiation/measur-mesur/huma/index_e.html)
is looking for a Post Doctoral Fellow.  The HML is located in Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada.

The PDF will conduct research to improve radiation measurement accuracy as
well as phantom design and fabrication. Where accuracy cannot be improved,
research is conducted to quantify the uncertainties associated with a
series of measurements. For example, the effect of a person's height and
weight on the result from a whole body count. In other cases, research may
address a special project.  The research is a mixture of theoretical (Monte
Carlo modelling) and experimental.

In the past, the following projects have been carried out:

Whole body counting: size dependency, counter design, geometry effects,
simplified calibration curves and standing Bottle Manikin Absorber (BOMAB);

Lung: size dependency, effect of activity distributions, effect of chest
wall thickness and composition, the quantification of distribution
patterns, techniques for determining phantom characteristics, phantom
comparisons, simplified calibration curve, MDA reduction, and phantom
design and fabrication;

Thyroid: phantom design and fabrication, iodine metabolism, measurement
accuracy improvement, and geometry effects, including collimation; and

Emergency response: optimum use of field-deployable equipment.

The incumbent will also participate in the HML's Intercomparison Programmes
and also develop some skills in Internal Dosimetry.

Interested persons seeking further information can e-mail me or call (see

Regards

Gary H. Kramer
