The University of Manchester has been a centre for ideas that change the world since 1824. Right now, we are addressing key challenges in energy security and environmental sustainability and building a brand-new Nuclear Compliance team to help us do it. Joining the team as Nuclear Compliance Health Physics Lead means playing a key governance role and contributing to pioneering research that will further understanding and place you among the world’s top experts in your field.
What you will do
Supporting the operation of the University’s new alpha radionuclide laboratory capability, you will help develop protocols, procedures and systems for transport, storage and safe handling for our alpha radionuclide laboratories. Along with other Leads within the department, you will be part of the core Nuclear Compliance team that drives knowledge-sharing and our collaborative approach to research.
You will support the Safety Lead in meeting standards set by all relevant regulatory bodies while ensuring compliance measures are in place to cover all environmental and radiological safety work done at the University.
Just as important is the role you will play in inspiring others with the work you do. The nuclear science community will be looking to our expertise for answers, and you will lead by example in providing them.
What you will get in return
- Market-leading pension scheme
- Health and wellbeing support, including Employee Assistance Programme
- 29 days’ annual leave (starting), plus bank holidays
- Paid Christmas closure
- Discounts at local and national retailers
- Living and working in one of the UK’s best cities
The University of Manchester welcomes applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status.
We are creating a UK first-of-a-kind capability for alpha-materials research. This pioneering endeavour will bridge the gap between what can be achieved conventionally, in academia, and what can be achieved in specialist facilities, primarily located on nuclear-licensed sites. This will represent a significant step change for the UK in innovative nuclear research, and a key development platform for the expert nuclear workforce of the future.
