Senior Health Physicist
The successful candidate will perform the full range of Senior Health Physicist duties. Such duties include but are not limited to:
Serves as a region-based senior inspector to lead, plan, conduct, report, and integrate findings associated with radiation protection inspections of light-water reactors, in accordance with the NRC Inspection Manual. Responsible for leading special team inspections. Independently plans, schedules, and determines the scope of inspections to be performed personally or by a team. Gathers necessary technical information from team members and from personal notes and observations. Reviews allegation referral responses. Makes technical judgements and conclusions regarding licensee performance. Integrates inspection findings into overall licensee assessment. Identifies issues that require enforcement decisions. The incumbent will also act as a representative of the NRC while associating with licensees, media, and the public. The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate the following:
1. Demonstrated knowledge of the reactor radiological health and safety practices and an understanding of the application of these principles and theories to a wide variety of practical problems.2. Demonstrated ability to perform evaluations and analyze the radiological safety consequences of exposure and use of radioactive material and to make technical determinations related to radiation controls, environmental monitoring measurements, radiation protection procedures, or radiation measure systems, including your experience/participation in team inspection efforts to obtain an integrated assessment of licensee performance.3. Demonstrated knowledge of the NRC regulatory guidance and policy and enforcement guidance.4. Demonstrated ability to communicate, both orally and in writing, and to coordinate with other NRC offices, other government agencies, the public, the press and industry groups on varied complex and sometimes controversial technical problems. 5.

Candidates should also have recent experience associated with a regulatory program focused on safety.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
