The responsibility of the External Dosimetrist is to provide technical support for all phases of Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD) personnel monitoring program to process TLDs, to perform algorithms calculations and generate dose reports. In this role, you will perform the dosimetry functions with assurance to quality for dose processing and dose reports.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Perform operations consistent with DOELAP accreditation standards, maintain accreditation and pass the performance tests to achieve the accreditation.

• Maintain the conduct of operations, logistic functions, including equipment, facilities, supplies to ensure timely and accurate dosimetry monitoring and dose reporting.

• Operate the TLD Readers and perform daily QA/QC for the Readers and algorithm setup parameters used in the dose processing.

• Expose the quality control TLDs to known radiation fields in the calibration facility for quality assurance/control.

• Calibrate the Readers for quality and dose processing on a required frequency.

• Review glow curves, and dose reports for anomalous results and correct the responses.

• Upload the dose of records, neutrons, and extremity dose results in the database and resolve any issues associated with the process.

• Prepare and distribute the dose reports to workers, visitors, and researchers. Serve as functionally accountable to trouble shoot IT systems used in external dosimetry measurements, databases, algorithms, and measurements.
