The University of Manchester has been a centre for ideas that change the world since 1824. Right now, we are addressing key challenges in energy security and environmental sustainability and building a brand-new Nuclear Compliance team to help us do it. As Nuclear Compliance Security Lead, you will play a key governance role and lead a pioneering research project that will establish the University as one of the centres of nuclear expertise.
What you will do
As part of the core Nuclear Compliance team, you will support the operation of the University’s new alpha radionuclide laboratories and lead on security issues. Collaborating with other Leads within the department, you will support the team-based, knowledge-sharing approach that drives our ground-breaking research.
You will work with the Nuclear Laboratory Compliance Manager to ensure we meet standards set by all relevant regulatory bodies, while implementing compliance measures in radiological safety, environmental and security matters.
A leading source of expertise within the facility, you will be able to inspire others and support the team in producing research work of the highest quality in a secure environment.

The University of Manchester welcomes applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status.
We are creating a UK first-of-a-kind capability for alpha-materials research. This pioneering endeavour will bridge the gap between what can be achieved conventionally, in academia, and what can be achieved in specialist facilities, primarily located on nuclear-licensed sites. This will represent a significant step change for the UK in innovative nuclear research, and a key development platform for the expert nuclear workforce of the future.
