General Summary of Position:<\/p>\n

The successful applicant must demonstrate strong potential to establish and maintain an externally-funded research program, preferably in radiochemistry and\/or nuclear forensics. The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses, including department core and specialty areas based on the candidate\u2019s expertise, and demonstrate strong potential to supervise postgraduate students.\u00a0 Successful applicants are expected to develop a strong network of collaborations with colleagues at U Mass Lowell, and established national and\/or international researchers, leading to significant impacts in health physics and related fields.<\/p>\n

The successful candidate will be expected to have a sound working knowledge of laboratory and field instrumentation used in measuring ionizing radiation, radioactivity analysis, external and internal radiation dosimetry, radiation shielding, and an active involvement in research. Knowledge of appropriate regulations (e.g., U.S.N.R.C. U.S.D.O.E.) and the work of various groups and agencies that have responsibility for setting standards and making recommendations concerning radiation protection (e.g., NCRP, ICRP, IAEA, Homeland Security) is expected. Certification by the American Board of Health Physics is desirable; an uncertified candidate would be expected to pursue certification as he\/she became eligible.<\/p>\n

The University of Massachusetts Lowell is part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts university system and maintains a Radiation Laboratory that includes a 1 MW research reactor, a 5.5 MV Van de Graaff accelerator, laboratories for nuclear instrumentation, radiochemistry, dosimetry, and other applications. With a department of 25 tenure-track physics professors, assisted by six lecturers, the University offers a Health Physics option for a B.S degree in Physics, an M.S. degree in Radiological Sciences and Protection, a Ph.D. degree in Physics, and a Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology.<\/p>\n
