Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

TITLE: Analytical Radiochemist, TerraPower Isotopes LOCATION: Everett, WA, USA The TerraPower Isotopes (TPI) division has been established to pursue medical isotopes development- advancing nuclear science for significant human health benefits. We seek to support revolutionary radiotherapies for treatments of various cancers through the supply of radioisotopes. TerraPower currently has unique access to a supply of thorium for the long-term production of actinium-225 in the growing alpha therapy market and intends to expand into other nuclear related medical treatments. The TerraPower Isotopes program is an integral part of the Washington State based TerraPower team, a company working to raise living standards globally. In 2006, the company originated with Bill Gates and a group of like-minded visionaries who evaluated the fundamental challenges to raising living standards around the world. TerraPower's mission is to be a world leader in new nuclear technologies, while developing innovators and future leaders in the nuclear field. TerraPower is seeking to hire highly motivated and forward-thinking professionals who are interested in focusing on advanced radiopharmaceutical applications and influencing change within nuclear medicine. TerraPower is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate in hiring on the basis of sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, color, religious creed, national origin, physical or mental disability, protected Veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law. In addition, as a federal contractor, TerraPower has instituted an Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) to proactively recruit, hire, and promote women, minorities, disabled persons and veterans. Analytical Radiochemist TerraPower seeks to support revolutionary radiotherapies for treatments of cancers, such as prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by supplying radioisotopes that currently cannot be accessed in amounts required to develop medical treatments. TerraPower currently has unique access to a supply of thorium for the long-term production of actinium-225 in the growing alpha therapy market and intends to expand into other nuclear related medical treatments. The Analytical Radiochemist reports into the Materials & Chemistry discipline within TerraPower's Engineering Department in support of this mission. The Analytical Radiochemist will support the development and performance of analytical methods, procedures and protocols that will be used for the characterization of actinium-225 and other radiopharmaceutical products. This position interfaces with a dynamic interdisciplinary environment in which effective communication, teamwork and collaboration is required, while maintaining composure to act safely, ensure quality of data, and enable timely decision-making. The position will require good judgement in ensuring regulatory compliance while delivering on commercial production needs. Responsibilities The Analytical Radiochemist's primary responsibilities include: * Work with in the analytical radiochemistry team to develop and maintain analytical methods and procedures and periodically evaluate testing methods according to ICH - Q2 guidelines for analytical methods. * Conduct quality control testing to enable release of each TPI Ac-225 batch using approved methods including alpha-spectroscopy, gamma-spectroscopy, ICP-QQQ-MS, ICP-OES, TLC plate scanner and other relevant techniques. * Collaborate with TPI radiochemistry team to follow robust analytical methods and analytical measurement procedures for the characterization of radioisotope process samples. * Accurately perform radioactivity, equilibrium, and kinetics calculations. * Perform laboratory wet chemistry using a variety of techniques and instruments. * Maintain laboratory procedures (e.g., calibration,
