**Canada’s Nuclear University**
McMaster University is the nation’s preeminent nuclear research institution. It’s home to a unique suite of worldclass research facilities including the McMaster Nuclear Reactor - a multipurpose research reactor that provides neutrons for medical isotope production and scientific research. The University’s accelerator and high-level labs, combined with hotcell, cyclotron, neutron scattering and positron beam facilities, allow researchers and industry partners
- at home and abroad - to advance R&D in nuclear technologies and health, environment, and materials research. These facilities are critical to the advancement of Canada’s nuclear industry - providing the training ground for the next generation of leaders and driving national programs in nuclear engineering and small modular reactor development, materials science and medical isotope research.
McMaster’s Nuclear Operations and Facilities (NOF) is anchored by the McMaster Nuclear Reactor (MNR), a 5 MW multi-purpose materials test reactor. As Canada’s only major neutron source, MNR is a key national research resource: it supports a broad range of neutron-based research programs that could not otherwise exist in Canada. Scientists use the MNR to advance strategic science and technology priority areas including medical isotopes and radiopharmaceuticals, agriculture and ecology, advanced materials, space exploration, and nuclear safety and security.
Researchers using MNR leverage the presence of four related nuclear facilities on the McMaster campus to maximize their research impacts. McMaster’s High Level Laboratory Facility (HLLF) provides 24,000 ft2 suite of licensed lab space that scientists and graduate students use for radioisotope processing, radiotracer production, radiopharmaceutical development, radiochemistry and waste disposal, and radiation biology research. Engineers use McMaster’s Center for Advanced Nuclear Systems (CANS), a post-irradiation examination facility, to machine and analyze in-service components from Ontario’s power reactors to monitor safety parameters like pressure tube hydriding; they can also use CANS to assess the behaviour of newly designed materials for building advanced nuclear reactors. Researchers at the McMaster Accelerator Laboratory study occupational health and safety among Ontario’s miners, assess links between environment and conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, and design new, more efficient, radiation detectors to characterize nuclear waste. Finally, McMaster staff operate the McMaster University Cyclotron Facility (MUCF), which produces positron-emitting radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic scans that complement the therapeutic isotopes generated at MNR. No other university in the world has a comparable cluster of interrelated, complementary, nuclear research facilities.
McMaster University’s NOF recently received a one-time investment from the provincial (6.8M) and Federal (6.8M) governments to expand and enhance research capabilities.
**Job Summary**:
**Accountabilities**:
**Radioisotope research**
- Design and develop experiments for radioisotope research projects in McMaster’s NOF that require novel scientific techniques.
- Design a research program for medical radioistopes to support Radiopharmaceutical and drug development
- Establish protocols and procedures for radioisotope production to be translated to commercial scale
- Author scientific papers, funding proposals, and abstracts in support of the unique infrastructure in NOF
- Write research proposals, submit proposals to external funding agencies, and secure funding to conduct research through grants and contracts.
- Perform scientific and technical observations during experiments, analyze the results using various analytical tools, and identify changes in the process to be implemented to improve the quality of results
- Provide professional advice and consultation to external researchers and act as the primary contact for NOF
- Develop estimates of time and resource
