Career opportunities
PhD candidate in radiation physics and activation analysis
Project description: The PhD candidate will work on the development and benchmarking of tools and methodologies for applications in clearance and release of radioactive material, with a focus on difficult to measure isotopes at the European Spallation Source. This involves Monte-Carlo simulations and activation calculations, such as PHITS/MCNP and DCHAIN-PHITS/CINDER. A main aim will be to calculate radionuclide vectors and their uncertainties at any location throughout the facility in a timely manner. Along with calculating radionuclide vectors, a significant part of the work will be planning, leading and carrying out benchmark studies against other software tools and/or measurements performed either at the European Spallation Source or other accelerator-based facilities together with the Radiation Protection Group.
The successful candidate will be part of the ESS Spallation Physics Group, while also collaborating closely with neutron scattering instrument teams.
Location: European Spallation Source, Lund
