Descrizione del lavoro

Position description

The successful candidate will be responsible to create new data, demonstrating the capabilities and limitations in the use of carbon-based radiation detectors in mixed neutron-gamma fields and moreover, lead to the development of new detection systems which will be tested within a wide range of neutron energies.

The research will be conducted primarily at the accelerator facility of the Ruđer Bošković institute (RBI) managed by the Laboratory for ion beam interactions, Experimental physics division of RBI in Zagreb, Croatia. Part of the experimental work will be done in the Budapest Neutron Center (BNC) which is a Hungarian partner facility within CERIC-ERIC.

Qualifications and other requirements

We require a Masters or equivalent degree in physics. The successful candidate should have a degree in physics and has obligation to enrol to a PhD studies in physics. Therefore the candidates should have GPA not lower than 80% of the maximum possible, i.e. to allow direct enrolment to the PhD studies. Specifically, the ideal candidate should have :

• Experience with experimental physics practices and methodologies;

Fluent English, both written and spoken, is essential (minimum B2 level), and knowledge of additional languages is an advantage.

Additional Qualifications

• Experience with Monte Carlo simulation software toolkits (i.e. Geant4, MCNP, FLUKA etc);
• Knowledge and experience in Solid State Physics;
• Experience in Radiation Detectors.

The following competencies are considered a plus

• Ability to work collaboratively in a team and thrive in a multi-cultural environment;
• Creativity and independence in work, with the ability to take initiative and work autonomously.

What We Offer

• Benefits : 33 days of holidays per year, flexible working time;
• Training possibilities;
• Possibility to work partially remotely.

The duration of the contract will be 48 months.
