Fission Expert

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our team at the Department of Physics, University of Oslo. As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, you will have the opportunity to conduct research in nuclear fission and contribute to the development of new research projects.

The position is part of a cross-disciplinary collaboration between Norway's leading institutions within nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry research. 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.

**Our Research Focus:**

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.

**Key Responsibilities:**

• Conduct experiments using particle, gamma or fission detectors and data acquisition systems.
• Perform data analysis using relevant techniques and tools such as ROOT.
• Collaborate with researchers to develop new research projects and improve existing ones.

**Qualifications:**

• A degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in physics, with specialization in experimental nuclear physics.
• A scientific profile relevant for the nuclear fission research program at NNRC.
• A solid background in scientific computing and data analysis.

**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.
