We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; can fold minor metadata into short p or drop.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Overview: description of ORNL and role. Could be "About the role". Use
About the role
thenwith prose. - Major Duties And Responsibilities: list of duties. Use
Responsibilities
then- each duty.
- Basic Qualifications: list of qualifications. Use
Requirements
maybe? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Basic Qualifications likely go under Requirements. Preferred Qualifications could go under Qualifications or Skills? We'll decide: Requirements = basic qualifications. Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills = programming/scripting experience etc. - Special Requirements: includes export control, security clearance, PIV, etc. Could be part of Requirements or separate? Might be considered Requirements as well. But we can incorporate into Requirements as extra bullet points. - Benefits: list of benefits. UseBenefits
then- .
- Pay: Not specified. No pay info given. So we should NOT include Pay section.
- Schedule: Not specified. No schedule info. So omit.
- About ORNL: could be part of About the role or separate? Could be included in About the role paragraph.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal, etc. Remove lines about "This position will remain open..." etc. Also remove "We accept Word..." etc. Also remove "ORNL is an equal opportunity employer..." etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details about duties, qualifications, preferred qualifications, skills, benefits, special requirements (export control, security clearance, PIV). Also include overview description.
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 (Staff) 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 substantive.
Major Duties And Responsibilities 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
- Develop and submit funding proposals to DOE and other government agencies for new research efforts.
- 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 mention; but that's part of duties. It's okay to keep.
Basic Qualifications:
- PhD in nuclear engineering or closely related field and 2-5 years of post graduate experience.
- 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.
- 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 or maybe a separate section like "Requirements" includes basic qualifications and special requirements. But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We could put basic qualifications under Requirements, preferred qualifications under Qualifications, programming/scripting under Skills. Special requirements could be part of Requirements as well.
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
- Employee amenities such as on-site fitness, banking, and cafeteria facilities are also available for added convenience.
Also ORNL offers competitive pay and benefits programs; flexible work hours mentioned. But we don't have specific pay or schedule.
We should not include "competitive pay" as Pay section because no specifics. So we omit Pay.
Schedule: Not given.
