KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS:

• Strong knowledge of fundamental nuclear physics principles related to radiation phenomena and accelerator systems and operations.
• Broad knowledge of nuclear physics theory, radiation phenomena, and core aspects of health physics, including radiation detectors, applied statistics, and scientific computing applications.
• Working knowledge of gamma spectroscopy and radiation detection systems, including the various types of detectors used in radiation protection programs.
• Familiarity with radiological principles such as external and internal dosimetry, shielding concepts, and radiation detection techniques.
• Competence in data recording, management, and analysis, including applied statistics relevant to radiation protection.
• Proficiency with software packages used for recording, managing, and analyzing radiation monitoring data.
• Specialized knowledge of radiation and emissions monitoring systems and procedures, including environmental monitoring practices.
• General understanding of Canadian regulations and policies related to radiation protection, radioactive substances, radiation devices, and environmental protection requirements.
• Ability to work collaboratively with other disciplines to support effective project outcomes and maintain safety standards.
• Sound technical writing skills to support the development of procedures, reports, and related safety documentation.

• Strong interpersonal, comprehension, interpretation, and communication skills, both verbal and written.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE:

• M.S. or PhD in Health Physics or a related field is required.
• Recognition as a registered radiation safety professional by the Canadian Radiation Protection Association is desirable
• At least 4 years of experience working in either research or radiation safety role at an accelerator facility.

• Perform data analysis and interpretation from fixed and portable radiation detection systems to ensure radiation exposures are maintained ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
• Support radiation safety operations through computational tools and modelling for dosimetry, shielding effectiveness, and system performance.
• Assist with the design, evaluation, and review of shielding, interlocks, and monitoring systems to enhance radiation safety.
• Perform dose calculations in the event of actual or potential radiation exposures to personnel (internal or external).
• Participate in regulatory inspections and internal audits (e.g., CNSC inspections).
• Maintain and improve procedures and safe work methods to support radiological hazard mitigation and decontamination.
• Instruct TRIUMF personnel on radiation safety principles, hazards, and regulatory requirements.
• Generate, review, and contribute to technical documents, including operating procedures, safety notes, safety analysis reports, and other support documentation.
• Collaborate with research, engineering, and safety personnel to support commissioning and decommissioning activities that meet regulatory standards.
• Provide technical guidance and support to TRIUMF staff on radiation safety matters.
