Does a career focused on changing the world's energy future intrigue you? If so, we might have just the opportunity you're looking for!
Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL)) Fuel Cycle Science and Technology (FCST) group is seeking forward-thinking professionals interested in exploring a career as a Director of Fuel Cycle Science and Technology Division.
Our team works an onsite 9X80 schedule located at our Research Education Campus with every other Friday off!
Responsibilities Include:
The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Nuclear Science & Technology (NS&T) Directorate is seeking an accomplished leader to serve as the next Director of the Fuel Cycle Science and Technology (FCST) Division, reporting to the NS&T Associate Laboratory Director (ALD). The mission of the FCST Division is to provide nuclear fuel cycle leadership, research and development for science-based solutions to sustain and expand the commercial reactor fleet, enable advanced reactor technologies, and facilitate the management and disposition of existing and future radiological waste materials. As the leader of the FCST Division, the Director plays an essential role in the INL’s efforts to challenge conventional approaches to nuclear research, demonstration and deployment (RD&D) and leading this paradigm shift to develop and deploy new nuclear fuel cycles, materials, concepts, and technologies. The Director is responsible for the formulation and communication of a compelling vision, strong internal and external relationship engagement, management direction, business development, implementation of the division strategy, and leadership to focus and integrate the four FCST Division departments (Aqueous Separations and Radiochemistry, Pyrochemical Science, Advanced Technology of Molten Salts, and Used Nuclear Fuel Management) toward science and technology goals consistent with the INL’s strategic plan, existing programmatic missions, and emerging opportunities.
The Director is also responsible for the direction and supervision of programmatic leaders providing direct support to sponsoring organizations, including the Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE), the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and private industry. The FCST Division, for example, provides technical leadership for the DOE-NE Material Recovery and Waste Form Campaign and the NNSA non-proliferation stewardship program (NSP). The FCST Division also provides support for the INL strategic initiatives, specifically the integrated fuel cycle solutions science & technology initiative for (1) efficient use of special nuclear materials and natural resources, (2) reduction of proliferation risk; and (3) efficient management and reduction of radiological waste and used nuclear fuel (UNF). It is imperative that the Director effectively collaborate with leaders across the laboratory to ensure the execution of the INL’s strategic plan and to meet programmatic stakeholder needs, particularly within the NS&T, other INL directorates including the Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) and National and Homeland Security (NHS) Directorates, and with the INL’s mission enabling organizations to leverage the full resources of the laboratory and those of our partners to achieve our mission and vision.
The Director has responsibility for leadership and management of a growing organization of scientists, engineers, technical, and support staff. As a leader in the NS&T Directorate, the Director is responsible for creating a culture of collaboration, innovation, inclusion, and diversity with a persistent focus toward the professional development of staff.
