Job Opportunities at SLAC

[Steve Frey <sfreyohp@SLAC.Stanford.EDU>]

Dear RADSAFERS,

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is a world leader in 
high-energy particle physics. SLAC is a large facility with 1300 
employees. Its two-mile long main accelerator is capable of generating 
50 GeV particles, creating unique health physics challenges for motivated 
professionals. Located in the beautiful San Francisco Bay area town 
of Menlo Park, SLAC offers a stimulating work environment, friendly 
coowrkers, outstanding schools, and unparalleled outdoor recreational 
choices. 

If you would like to bring your career here, we would like to talk to 
you. Currently, we have two open professional-level positions in our 
Operational Health Physics (OHP) Department. Descriptions of the two 
positions follow below. If you are interested in either one, please 
contact me at (650) 926-3839 (office), (650) 926-3030 (fax), or by 
e-mail at sfreyohp@SLAC.Stanford.edu. Bu please don't delay. The 
positions will close on Wednesday, July 22, 1998.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Steve

Job Title:	Health Physicist III, Radioactive Waste/ Materials
Accountability Group Leader

Duties:

This position reports to the Department Head of the Operational Health
Physics (OHP) Department of the Environmental Safety and Health Division.
The sucessful candidate will manage a group of professionals and
technicians whose primary responsibilities are programs for radioactive
low-level waste, mixed waste, and radioactive materials accountability on
the SLAC site.  Specific duties of the group are: operate the Radioactive
Materials Storage Yard utilizing proper policies and procedures; prepare
and package radioactive and mixed waste for characterization; analyze waste
characterization data and ensure compliance with applicable waste
acceptance criteria and transportation regulations set forth by the DOE,
DOT, State agencies, and other Federal agencies; examine recycle and reuse
opportunities for radioactive materials; develop, implement, and maintain a
site-wide accountability system for tracking the movement and storage of
radioactive materials around site; coordinate activities with the Waste
Management Department, disposal facilities, radioanalytical laboratories,
and the DOE; and support the operations and research activities of the
other groups within OHP as well as the Radiation Physics Department.

The sucessful candidate will be responsible for developing, as needed, the
policies and procedures for carrying out the above listed duties.  Other
activities may include the use and analysis of a variety of computer codes;
representing SLAC at different forums regarding the issues of radioactive
waste, radioactive materials recycling, and risk analysis of releasing
radioactive materials to the general public for use; and be involved with
any potential D&D planning and activities.

Job Qualifications:

The sucessful candidate should have a B.S. or M.S. in Health Physics or in
a related field with emphasis on health physics, nuclear engineering, or
radiological engineering.  The candidate must have at least five years of
operational Health Physics experience, preferably with a focus on
radioactive materials handling operations.  Desired qualifications include
experience with DOT regulations; risk analysis software such as IMPACTS,
GENII, and RESRAD; and waste characterization experience.  Candidate must
be detail oriented, able to work independently, able to be a team player
and leader, computer literate, and interested in ABHP certification.  In
addition to proven good written and verbal communications skills, the
candidate must have first line supervisory experience.

program has responsibility for the radiological aspects of industrial waste
water, storm water, groundwater, air effluents, and direct radiation with
focus on dose impact to members of the general public and the environment.
This includes development of an ERPP (Environmental Radiological Protection
Plan) and EMP (Environmental Monitoring Plan) for SLAC.  The radioanalysis
laboratory program has responsibility for multi-media environmental
sampling analyses, analytical services for the radiological control
program, and analytical services for the radioactive waste program
including low-level, mixed waste, and recyclable waste characterization.
The successful candidate will generate routine and non-routine reports,
interpret regulations, respond in writing to regulatory statutes and
requirements, design and write program plans, and develop standard
operations procedures.  This position must necessarily operate on the
working level with federal, state, and local agencies including DOE, EPA,
California DHS, and others; as well as, across multidisclipinary lines
including radiological, non-radiological,  and hazardous materials safety
issues.
