Postdoc Position in Nuclear Reaction Modelling, Sweden

Overview

Postdoc position in nuclear reaction modelling at the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Possible starting date: March 2011. Research area: Applied nuclear physics.

The Division of Applied Nuclear Physics is known to have a world-class research environment in nuclear data research. Beside the usage of existing state-of-the-art computational codes, a perpetual development of new methods and computational techniques is done in this division.

The postdoc will work on nuclear reaction modelling within the MACRO (MAssive Computation methodology for Reactor Operation) project. The project aims at re-establishing a link between basic nuclear physics and large scale application using the Total Monte Carlo (TMC) technique. The applicant is expected to extend an existing nuclear model code for assessment of nuclear data uncertainties. The applicant will furthermore participate in the supervision of PhD student candidates that apply the code to relevant applications.

The applicant is expected to have a PhD in Nuclear Physics, with a good background in nuclear reaction modelling and/or computational nuclear physics. Previous experience with the TALYS code will be considered as an extra merit. Knowledge of nuclear data and reactor simulations is a further plus.


The application should include a statement of research interest, CV, certificates of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of PhD thesis, published article or relevant materials, if available. Also, letter(s) of recommendation should be included.

To be eligible for a postdoctoral position the applicants PhD degree should have been obtained no later than three years prior to the application date. Periods of sick leave or parental leave may be deducted from the three-year period.

The Postdoc position is for two years. Further information is available at http://www.physics.uu.se/en/page/education
