A Bachelor’s in chemistry, radiochemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, chemical biology, or a related field is required; more advanced training and directly relevant experience are strong assets.
At least 1 year of directly relevant hands-on experience in radiochemistry, radiosynthesis, PET radiotracer preparation, or closely related synthetic/analytical laboratory work is strongly preferred; an equivalent combination of advanced training and experience may also be considered.
Experience with HPLC, purification methods, analytical characterization, and safe handling of radioactive materials is highly desirable.
Demonstrated ability to follow and optimize technical protocols, troubleshoot experiments, and maintain careful experimental documentation is essential.
Experience training or supervising students or junior trainees in laboratory techniques is a strong asset, as this role will help support trainee development in radiochemistry procedures and good laboratory practice.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to coordinate multiple experiments and communicate effectively with trainees and collaborators are important for this role.
Experience in organic synthesis, animal research, preclinical PET imaging, or related laboratory support work is considered a strong asset, as this role will also contribute to the broader preclinical research activities of the lab.
Ability to work independently in a multidisciplinary academic and research environment is essential.
Eligibility to work in laboratory environments involving radioactive materials is required; designation as a Nuclear Energy Worker may be mandatory depending on final role classification
