Radiation Protection Officer

Applications are invited for a permanent, full-time Radiation Protection Officer in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Bangor University.

The Radiation Protection Officer (RPO) will, with the support of the Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA) & Radioactive Waste Advisor (RWA), put systems in place to ensure that work undertaken with radioactive material within the school is compliant with all relevant legislation. The RPO will provide guidance and support to an existing team of Radiation Protection Supervisors and liaise with regulators as required. In addition to this primary role, the RPO will play a critical role in the governance structure within the university, ensuring the safe operation of the laboratories, both in terms of research with radioactive materials, and work with other materials in laboratories that use radioactive materials. The successful candidate will be required to pass any relevant national security clearances e.g. BPSS.

Candidates should have a PhD in a relevant subject, or an undergraduate degree in a relevant subject coupled with appropriate proven experience in a similar role, i.e. current or recent experience as a Radiation Protection Supervisor or similar working with radioactive materials. They will have excellent working knowledge of regulations relevant to working with radioactive material in a research environment.

The successful candidate will be expected to commence as soon as possible, and the role is available on a permanent basis.

This post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check and any relevant national security clearances.

This role will be located on campus at Bangor and M-SParc on Anglesey. Through our Dynamic Working framework, there will also be the option to spend some time working remotely (although remaining in the UK) to support work life balance, which will be discussed further with candidates at interview.
