Assistant Professor in Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics (Radiochemistry)

About the role

University of Wisconsin-Madison NEEP seeks candidates for a tenure-track faculty position in nuclear engineering, with applications in the generation, processing and management of radioisotopes across different disciplines. Across the landscape of nuclear science and technology, the processes for generating, separating and applying specific radioisotopes are becoming more important, for example: Separation and management of tritium will be critical for the safe, reliable and economic growth of fusion and advanced fission technologies. Novel medical radioisotopes are being discovered and explored using multiple sources, including accelerators, neutron irradiation and fission products. There is a renewed national interest in processing of used nuclear fuel, with multiple value streams being generated across different industry sectors.
