ACS Academic Employment Initiative

To assist graduate and postdoctoral students, the ACS Office of Graduate Education and Department of Career Services are participating in a presidential program called the Academic Employment Initiative (AEI). The intent of this program is twofold: (1) to give colleges and universities exposure to a larger pool of candidates for faculty positions than is possible through current recruitment practices; and (2) to provide candidates the opportunity to convey their teaching and research goals to a wider audience. 11/29/06

Faculty Positions
	Inorganic/Nuclear/Radiochemistry Faculty Position The Hope College Chemistry Department invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in inorganic chemistry to begin in Fall 2010. The position is expected to be offered at an Assistant Professor level. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry and postdoctoral experience. Primary teaching responsibilities will include inorganic chemistry lecture and laboratory and general chemistry. The development of a strong, externally-funded, experimental research program involving undergraduate students is expected. For this purpose, start-up funds will be provided. The Chemistry Department (www.hope.edu/academic/chemistry/) is a national leader in undergraduate research. 9/22/09
	Radiochemistry Faculty Position The Department of Chemistry is seeking 2 candidates for full-time, 9-month, tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor positions in Chemistry, commencing Fall 2008. Highest priority is a position in UNLV's Radiochemistry program, in which current research focuses on the chemistry of technetium and the actinides in solids, separations, the environment, and chemical syntheses. Successful applicants will be expected to develop a rigorous, externally funded research program that contributes to growing graduate programs in radiochemistry, chemistry, and/or chemical education. Further information on the Radiochemistry and Chemistry programs can be found at radchem.nevada.edu and http://sciences.unlv.edu/Chemistry/. 10/2/07
Post-Doctoral Positions
	Postdoctoral Position in Inorganic/Radiochemistry The Departments of Radiology and Radiation Oncology are looking for several qualified postdoctoral fellows in the field of radiochemistry. These are 3 year DOE funded positions with funding for salary, supplies and travel. The successful candidate will gain experience production of radioisotopes and labeling methods for small molecules, peptides and proteins with these for applications in cancer imaging and other areas. Qualifications: Recent PhD in Chemistry or related field. Experience in radiochemistry is preferred but not required. 9/22/09
	Assistant Medical Scientist Ph.D. in nuclear or radiochemistry wishing to participate in a DOE sponsored program on radioisotope research and production with accelerator beams. Successful candidate must have experience with inorganic radiochemical separations of accelerator irradiated targets and with gamma ray spectroscopy. Experience with target design, nuclear reaction cross section measurements, and computational codes ALICE and MCNPX is highly desirable. This position is in the Radionuclide Research and Production Group of the Medical Department. The main program focus is to produce and distribute radioisotopes for nuclear medicine research and clinical practice, and to develop radioisotopes for new applications in medicine and science. 3/25/2009
	Postdoctoral Position in Nuclear Chemistry A postdoctoral position will be available starting October 1st, 2007 in the Department of Chemistry at Indiana University, Bloomington, for a recent nuclear science Ph.D. This position is within the Nuclear Chemistry group at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF). The group utilizes intermediate energy heavy-ion reactions to learn about the properties of nuclei and nuclear matter away from stability. Experiments are conducted using accelerators at MSU-NSCL, TAMU, and GANIL (France). 08/08/2007
	New Postdoctoral Positions Research in separations chemistry of actinium and daughters, chelation chemistry of actinium and daughters, conjugation chemistry of chelating groups with peptides and proteins, and radiation cell biology

Radiochemistry Positions
	Radiochemistry Positions Savannah River National Laboratory has positions available immediately for MS and PhD level radiochemists to perform nuclear nonproliferation work. Research topics include separations, environmental fate and transport, and development of field deployable analysis and collection systems. US citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a Department of Energy Q clearance required. If interested, please contact Rhonda Whitley (rhonda.whitley@srs.gov) with CV and cover letter. 11/4/2008
	Radiochemistry Positions Bechtel Bettis Laboratory employees are involved in all facets of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. (Use search for specific job opportunities.) *9/1/05*
	Radiochemistry/Scientist Positions PNNL has openings for radiochemists and other scientist positions. Check the job postings on the link provided. *1/29/08*
