ANSTO’s Institute for Environmental Research is a 
multidisciplinary research Institute of 
approximately 100 people possessing a broad range 
of scientific expertise. The Institute’s goal is 
to carry out balanced strategic and applied 
research and development, with projects aimed at 
applications of nuclear or isotopic science in 
the hydro- and geosphere and focussed on 
terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems, 
atmosphere and climate, paleoclimate and water resources.

We seek a highly motivated experimental scientist 
to work as a specialist in Accelerator Mass 
Spectrometry.  The successful candidate will work 
in a team that performs research and development 
involving the measurement of long-lived 
radioisotopes, including radiocarbon dating, 
using a 10 MV Tandem and a 2 MV Tandetron 
accelerator.  This research involves interaction 
with other ANSTO Institutes, Australian 
universities, national and international laboratories.

Following appropriate training, you will:
·         Set up and perform measurements on accelerator systems;
·         Assist research scientists in the 
design and development of new instrumentation;
·         Maintain existing systems in good working order;
·         Become familiar with the basic 
scientific aspects of accelerator mass 
spectrometry and the measurement of long-lived radioisotopes.

You will have successfully completed a degree in 
Physics, Applied Science or related discipline, 
and have an excellent academic 
record.  Experience in operation, design and/or 
development of complex laboratory equipment is 
essential. An attractive salary package will be 
offered depending on qualifications and 
experience. To be eligible for engagement, 
applicants will require a medical and security 
assessment. Australian citizenship is preferred.
