Post Doc | Neutronics for DONES

One of 13 positions offered by the University of Granada aimed at university graduates and doctoral degree holders to carry out a research, training and mobility programme at international research centres and laboratories related to the IFMIF-DONES project

 

Task descriptions

  • Conducting neutronics simulations in support of IFMIF-DONES design optimizations and radiation protections for target system, accelerator system, lithium system and other systems.
  • Developing of neutronics simulation models from CAD data.
  • Performing radiation transport, activation and shutdown dose rate simulations with appropriate level of verifications and quality assurance measures (technical checking, review, cross-comparisons, sensitivity studies, etc.)
  • Evaluating nuclear performances and radiation protection capabilities and identifying further areas of work.
  • Reporting and presenting all aspects of work, interacting with multidisciplinary design teams and consulting on suitable design modifications
