Physicists in Cincinnati, Ohio.



OCAS is responsible for conducting occupational radiation dose

reconstructions for certain workers with cancer who filed claims for

compensation under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation

Program Act.



DUTIES:  The incumbent provides professional health physicist expertise and

applies professional knowledge of health physics for the purpose of

assessing internal and external radiation exposure to specific organs or

tissue using the newest ICRP models and recommendations.  In accordance with

established regulatory and implementing procedures, utilizes various types

and sources of information to perform radiation exposure estimates, to

evaluate individual claims with limited dosimetry information.  Evaluates

historical dosimetry information for applicability to a workers exposure

scenario.  Researches sources of additional information concerning facility

dosimetry practices and radiological conditions.  Documents exposure

estimates in a clear concise manner, addressing all assumptions and sources

of information.  Addresses the uncertainty introduced into an exposure

estimate using appropriate assumptions and models.  Establishes radiation

exposure characteristics for classes of workers at various Department of

Energy and DOE contractor facilities.  Interviews workers via telephone to

result in you not being considered for this position. Candidates for Health

Physicist must meet one of the following requirements: (A) Degree: natural

science or engineering that included at least 30 semester hours in health

physics, engineering, radiological science, chemistry, physics, biology,

mathematics, and/or calculus; OR (B) Combination of education and

experience--courses as shown in A above, plus appropriate experience or

other education; or certification as a health physicist by the American

Board of Health Physics, plus appropriate experience and other education

that provided an understanding of sciences applicable to health physics

comparable to that described in paragraph A.  In Addition, candidates must

have at least 1 year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower

grade

 

Specialized Experience is that which is directly related to the position and

which has equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, skills, and

abilities (KSAs) to successfully perform the duties of the position, such as

a knowledge of health physics concepts, principles, and practices, and other

occupational health disciplines for conducting occupational health studies

for radiation exposures.
