Advanced Nuclear Reactor and Fuel Cycle Engineer (Associate)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Overview: description of ORNL and role. Could be "About the role" maybe. Use

About the role

with prose. - Major Duties/Responsibilities: list of duties. Use

Responsibilities

with

• each duty. - Basic Qualifications: list of qualifications. Use

  Requirements

  or

  Qualifications

  . The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use Requirements for basic qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications? Or maybe Requirements for basic, Qualifications for preferred. We'll decide. - Preferred Qualifications: list. - Special Requirements: includes export control, security clearance, PIV, etc. Could be part of Requirements or a separate section like Requirements? Might be considered Requirements. Could include under Requirements as additional bullet. - About ORNL: description of ORNL, benefits, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About ORNL". But headings limited to given list; we could use About the role for overview of role and ORNL. Or we could have About the role covering ORNL overview and role description. Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "ORNL offers competitive pay and benefits programs..." then list of benefits. So we need Benefits section if specific content. Yes, there is a list of benefits. So we should include

  Benefits

  with
  • each benefit. - Pay: not specified (no salary). So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific content. - Schedule: not specified (no schedule). So omit. - Skills: maybe we could include programming/scripting experience as skills? But we already have qualifications. Could create Skills section for technical skills like C/C++, Python, etc. However instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could incorporate skills into Qualifications or Requirements. Probably better to keep Requirements (basic) and Qualifications (preferred) and Benefits. Also maybe a short overview paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like equal opportunity, EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes details about ORNL, role responsibilities, qualifications, preferred qualifications, special requirements (export control, security clearance, PIV, residency), benefits list. We need to ensure we don't invent or summarize away detail. Keep specifics. Let's extract substantive content: Overview paragraph: "Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is the largest US Department of Energy science and energy laboratory, conducting basic and applied research to deliver transformative solutions to compelling problems in energy and security. Our diverse capabilities span a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines, enabling the laboratory to explore fundamental science challenges and conduct the research needed to accelerate the delivery of solutions to the marketplace. The Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Cycle Analysis Group (RNFCA) Group is seeking candidates to apply for the Advanced Nuclear Reactor and Fuel Cycle Engineer (Associate) role. This role is responsible for working with state-of-the-art modeling and simulation capabilities for lattice physics, reactor core, spent fuel, and fuel cycle applications through leadership in the development and analysis of SCALE and/or the Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) simulations and in collaboration with industry, national laboratories and university researchers. ORNL has world-leading nuclear, radiological and scientific facilities, including the High Flux Isotope Reactor, and this role would support the neutronics and thermal-hydraulics analysis." That's overview. Major Duties/Responsibilities bullet list: - Design, develop, optimize and analyze reactor models using world-class modeling and simulation codes (SCALE, VERA, OpenMC, MCNP, Serpent, MOOSE) to support the design and development of next generation nuclear reactors. - Develop and analyze fuel cycle models using Cyclus to evaluate advanced fuel cycle strategies to support the design and deployment of advanced nuclear reactors. - Interact effectively across organization structures with staff scientists and engineers and be an effective representative of ORNL and their research to sponsors and the professional community. - Conduct work on scope and on budget. - Communicate effectively the work performed through journal articles, presentations, reports, and code documentation. - Serve as a role model for integrity and safety in the conduct of research, mentoring of early career staff, and engagement with scientific and professional societies - Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service. Promote equal opportunity by fostering a respectful workplace – in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success. Note: The last bullet includes equal opportunity statement; but we are told to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. However this is part of responsibilities? It's about promoting equal opportunity; might be considered boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove that sentence about promoting equal opportunity. However it's part of a bullet; we could either remove the bullet entirely or edit it to remove that phrase. Since we must preserve ALL substantive information, but equal opportunity statement is considered boilerplate, we can remove it. The bullet also includes delivering ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors... That part is substantive. So we could keep the bullet but remove the equal opportunity phrase. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; removing a phrase might be considered summarizing away detail. But the instruction says to remove EEO boilerplate. So we should remove that phrase. We could keep the rest: "Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service." That seems fine. Thus bullet: "- Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service." Now Basic Qualifications: - A PhD in Nuclear Engineering or a closely related field. - Knowledge of nuclear reactor analysis R&D is required as demonstrated through research and associated publications. - Experience using SCALE, VERA, MCNP, Serpent, OpenMC, and/or MOOSE and familiarity with reactor systems and concepts. - Programming/scripting experience including the use of one or more of C/C++, Python, Fortran, Git, and CMake an asset. - Demonstrated writing and communication skills and ability to publish. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience with Multiphysics software and simulations an asset. - Previous experience with the development and implement numerical algorithms in advanced modeling and simulation software related to reactor physics analysis an asset - Knowledge of software engineering best practices, including continuous integration, requirements management, and object-oriented programming concepts and design patterns an asset. - Experience working within a rigorous quality assurance program an asset. - Ability to obtain a security clearance. Special Requirements: - This position requires access to technology that is subject to export control requirements. Successful candidates must be qualified for such access without an export control license. - For employment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), a Real ID compliant form of identification will be required. - Additionally, ORNL is subject to Department of Energy (DOE) access restrictions. - All employees must also be able to obtain and maintain a federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card as mandated by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) and Department of Energy (DOE) Order 473.1A, which requires a favorable post-employment background investigation. - To obtain this credential, new employees must successfully complete and pass a Federal Tier 1 background check investigation. This investigation includes a declaration of illegal drug activities, including use, supply, possession, or manufacture within the last year. This includes marijuana and cannabis derivatives, which are still considered illegal under federal law, regardless of state laws. - For Foreign National Candidates If you have not resided in the U.S. for three consecutive years, you are not eligible for the PIV credential and instead will need to obtain a favorable Local Site Specific Only (LSSO) risk determination to maintain employment. Once you meet the three-year residency requirement, you will be required to obtain a PIV credential to maintain employment. We could incorporate special requirements into Requirements section as additional bullets, or maybe a separate section like Requirements. Since we have Requirements heading for basic qualifications, we could add special requirements under Requirements as well. But we might want to separate them? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have Requirements for basic qualifications + special requirements. Qualifications for preferred qualifications. Skills maybe not needed. Benefits separate. We need to avoid duplication: there is also mention of "ORNL offers competitive pay and benefits programs..." then list of benefits. We'll create Benefits section with list. Benefits list: - Prescription Drug Plan - Dental Plan - Vision Plan - 401(k) Retirement Plan - Contributory Pension Plan - Life Insurance - Disability Benefits - Generous Vacation and Holidays - Parental Leave - Legal Insurance with Identity Theft Protection - Employee Assistance Plan - Flexible Spending Accounts - Health Savings Accounts - Wellness Programs - Educational Assistance - Relocation Assistance - Employee Discounts Also mention: "ORNL offers competitive pay and benefits programs to attract and retain individuals who demonstrate exceptional work behaviors. The laboratory provides a range of employee benefits, including medical and retirement plans and flexible work hours, to support the well-being of you and your family. Employee amenities such as on-site fitness, banking, and cafeteria facilities are also available for added convenience." We could include those as prose in Benefits section before list. Now About the role section: we can combine overview paragraph and maybe mention ORNL's mission etc. We'll put overview paragraph as prose. We must not include duplicated lines: there is some duplication about ORNL being largest US DOE lab etc. Already captured. We must not include application instructions: lines about file types, email, etc. Remove. We must not include EEO boilerplate: we removed equal opportunity phrase. We must not include legal/cookie/navigation. Now produce HTML fragment:
