Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Nuclear Fission Research
3 days ago
A three-year position as Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Nuclear Fission is available at the Department of Physics, University of Oslo. The position is funded through the Norwegian Nuclear Research Centre (NNRC).
NNRC is a cross-disciplinary collaboration between Norway's leading institutions within nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry research: University of Oslo (UiO), Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), and Institute for Energy Technology (IFE). The Centre addresses major research questions within the nuclear field spanning topics from nuclear properties and medical isotope production, to reactor simulations and environmental radiochemistry.
A fourth year may be considered with a workload of 25% that normally consists of teaching. This is dependent upon the qualification of the applicant and the current needs of the department.
The starting date should be as soon as possible.
The Nuclear Physics group at UiO is involved in several Research Themes (RT) within the Norwegian Nuclear Research Centre (NNRC), from fundamental research within Nuclear Properties (RT1) and Nuclear Fission (RT2), to more applied research within Nuclear Simulations (RT3) and Radionuclide Production and Speciation (RT4).
This Postdoctoral Fellowship will contribute to RT2: Nuclear Fission, which will provide fundamental research on the nuclear fission process, as well as produce nuclear data for both nuclear reactor and nuclear safety applications. Obtaining experimental information about fission is also important to constrain and improve nuclear fission models.
The current ongoing projects include measurements of prompt fission gamma rays as a function of excitation energy and angular momentum of the fissioning nucleus. The measurements will be conducted at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory (OCL) using the OSCAR array of 30 large volume LaBr detectors. The candidate will be in charge of setting up the fission experiments and analyzing the data obtained.
Another fission observable of interest is isomeric yield ratios of fission fragments, as they give insight into the configurations of the initial fission fragments and are thus excellent probes of the mechanisms behind angular momentum generation in fission. Measurements of these will be run abroad at IJC Lab and GANIL.
The Postdoc Research Fellow is expected to take a leading role within the projects described above and is also encouraged to pursue own related research projects. The candidate is also expected to contribute to and partake in activities organized by the Centre.
The main purpose of a postdoctoral fellowship is to provide the candidates with enhanced skills to pursue a scientific top position within or beyond academia. To promote a strategic career path, all postdoctoral research fellows are required to submit a professional development plan no later than one month after commencement of the postdoctoral period.
Qualification RequirementsThe Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition to be among Europe's leading communities for research, education, and innovation. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.
- A degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in physics, with specialization in experimental nuclear physics. Doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the closing date. Only applicants with an approved doctoral thesis and public defense are eligible for appointment.
- A scientific profile relevant for the nuclear fission research program at NNRC.
- A solid background in scientific computing and data analysis.
- Fluent oral and written communication skills in English.
Desired Qualifications:
- Experience with particle, gamma or fission detectors and data acquisition.
- Experience with relevant data analysis techniques and analysis tools such as ROOT.
- Experience with nuclear reaction codes such as TALYS.
- Experience with teaching and student supervision.
- Ability to work in an international research environment.
- Ability to work both in a team and independently.
- Cover letter with a statement of motivation and research interests.
- CV (summarizing education, positions, scientific awards and achievements, and other qualifying activity).
- List of publications and academic work that the applicant wishes to be considered by the evaluation committee.
- Copies of educational certificates and transcript of records.
- Names and contact details of 2-3 references (name, relation to candidate, e-mail and telephone number).
The application with attachments must be delivered in our electronic recruiting system. Foreign applicants are advised to attach an explanation of their University's grading system. Please note that all documents should be in English (or a Scandinavian language). Applications with missing documents will not be considered further.
General InformationPlease see the guidelines and regulations for appointments to Postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Oslo.
No one can be appointed twice as a Postdoctoral fellow financed with funds from The Research Council of Norway (NFR).
All candidates and projects will have to undergo a check versus national export, sanctions and security regulations. Candidates may be excluded based on these checks.
If an applicant has applied for and been granted funding for a full-time research stay abroad while being employed as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, the employment will be prolonged with the equivalent time as the research stay, but for no longer than twelve months.
Applicant lists can be published in accordance with Norwegian Freedom of Information Act § 25. When you apply for a position with us, your name will appear on the public applicant list.
