Physicist / Accelerator Scientist


ANTARES / STAR  AMS Facility

Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation,
Sydney, Australia.



Salary range $53K - $67K (plus super)




ANSTO's Institute for Environmental Research is a 
multi-disciplinary research institute of 
approximately 100 people utilising a broad range 
of scientific equipment, including two 
accelerators for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry 
(AMS). The Institute's goal is to carry out 
balanced strategic and applied research, enhance 
our nuclear techniques of analyses and develop 
new applications to support projects in 
atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial and marine 
environments for resource management and palaeo-climate studies.

We seek a highly motivated physicist or 
accelerator scientist to join our team in 
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. The successful 
candidate will carry out research, development 
and routine accelerator operation involving the 
measurement of long-lived radioisotopes, such as 
C-14 (radiocarbon), Be-10, Al-26, and I-129 , 
using ANSTO's 10 MV ANTARES and 2 MV STAR tandem 
accelerators. This research involves interaction 
with other ANSTO institutes, Australian 
universities, national and international laboratories.

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

You will have successfully completed a degree in 
Physics, Applied Science or related discipline, 
and have an excellent academic record. The 
ability to carry out statistical analyses of data 
is essential. Experience in AMS and/or operation, 
design and development of complex laboratory 
equipment is desirable. 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.
