The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWL) http://www.uwlax.edu/Chemistry-and-Biochemistry/ is seeking a dynamic teacher-scholar at the Assistant Professor level to join its top-rated program in August 2025. The department strives to maintain an inclusive and collegial working and learning environment for our faculty, staff, and students, and we welcome applicants who share our commitment to these values. Our new colleague will teach lecture and laboratory courses in the core curriculum along with advanced elective courses in their areas of expertise. Applicants able to teach nuclear chemistry to nonmajors will be given special consideration.  We seek a scholar to develop an active research program involving undergraduates. Laboratory research expertise, which may include interdisciplinary areas, is preferred. Our department and college maintain a large array of modern instrumentation resources, including research and teaching laboratories in the state-of-the-art Prairie Springs Science Center, which houses the Radiation Center.

The University of Utah’s Nuclear Engineering Program (UNEP) invites applications to immediately fill two full-time, tenure-track faculty positions in Nuclear Engineering with an anticipated start date of August 1, 2025. One of the positions is to be filled at the Assistant Professor level, and the other is open rank. Full and Associate Professor level applicants may be considered for the Energy Solutions Presidential Endowment. These positions are part of the University of Utah’s 2024 initiative to grow the Nuclear Engineering Program.

The Department of Chemistry at Tennessee Tech University is currently seeking applicants for the position of Postdoctoral Research Associate in the laboratory of Prof. Jesse D. Carrick. The successful applicant will work on a multidisciplinary project at the interface of separation science, and analytical, organic, and computational chemistry towards the development of heteroaryl Lewis basic complexants for selective minor actinide separations from used nuclear fuel.

For more information, please see the attachment. This position is open until filled.

Dr. Burns at the University of Alabama Birmingham is seeking two post-docs. Please see the attached ads.

There is an immediate opportunity for a post-doctoral fellow at the University of South Carolina to support a significant effort on the development and assessment of novel high temperature materials including structural materials and solid and molten salt nuclear fuels. The research involves developing thermochemical models for complex, multi-element systems to assess material behavior; contribution to the continuing development and expansion of a widely used molten salt thermodynamic database; and evaluation and modeling of materials compatibility in extreme environments. Experimental efforts include the use of a growing suite of instruments including a Calvet DSC; DSC/TGA; room, high temperature, and single-crystal XRD; and a variety of material preparation and testing methods. Extensive training is provided along with frequent opportunities for publication, conference participation, and workshop attendance. There is also the possibility of on-site work with collaborators at one or more U. S. Department of Energy national laboratories.

The positions require a PhD in chemistry, physics, materials science, or engineering, with experience in high temperature materials being helpful.
