Radioisotope Production Coordinator

The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is Europe's leading facility for scientific research using neutrons. It hosts over 2000 guest scientists per year who carry out world-class research in a wide variety of scientific fields.
The Reactor Division, whose role is to produce the neutrons needed to supply the ILL’s scientific instruments, is responsible for operating all the technical installations associated with the reactor. It currently has a vacancy for a radioisotope production coordinator.

Your tasks
As part of the ILL's Reactor Division, you will be responsible for coordinating activities linked to the production of radioisotopes, used principally to produce radiopharmaceutical products for cancer treatment. This is a cross-functional position spanning various ILL services. It is a position that will develop as a new dedicated hot cell is being implemented and the production capacity increases.

Your main duties will be to:
• Liaise with the users (international radiochemical laboratories) within the context of irradiating samples at the ILL
• Coordinate work by teams from various services
• Organise the preparation of irradiation shuttles
• Monitor orders and subcontracted operations regarding the irradiation shuttles
• Take an active role in the field with the technicians to condition the shipping containers
