The Division of Nuclear Physics at Lund University (DNPLU) and the Detector Division of the European Spallation Source AB (ESS) jointly offer a PhD studentship in the field of neutron-detection techniques. Following an initiative undertaken at DNPLU, discussions involving the establishment a three-party detector-development laboratory to be shared by DNPLU, the ESS, and The MAX IV Laboratory are well underway. The ultimate goal of this undertaking is to establish a center of excellence for detector development at Lund University. Of particular interest to the DNPLU and the ESS is the development of neutron-detection techniques. The Photonuclear Group of the DNPLU based at the existing MAX-lab has a long and well-documented history of neutron-detector development. Further information about the activities of the Photonuclear group may be found at http://www.maxlab.lu.se/kfoto/index.html . The goal of this PhD project is to design, develop, construct, and then characterize a liquid-scintillator neutron-detector array, particularly in terms of its absolute efficiency for detecting neutrons of various energies. The array thus developed will then be employed in a photoneutron measurement at the Tagged-Photon Facility at MAX-lab. The successful applicant will thus be instrumental to the development of the three-party detector laboratory, and be amongst the first individuals to utilize it. Teaching at up to the 10% level may be a part of the duties of the successful candidate.
Behörighet
Basic entry requirements for PhD studies are: a degree at an advanced level containing at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 are at an advanced level, or corresponding proficiencies.
For special eligibility in Physics, an independent project, equivalent to 30 credits is required, together with courses at an advanced level that provide the relevant background for the planned area of research. Special eligibility may also be achieved through other equivalent education.
For detailed requirements and the selection criteria, see the general study plan for physics at
http://www.naturvetenskap.lu.se/upload/LUPDF/natvet/FU/Studieplan/E.Physics.pdf .
Documented proficiency with the English language is required. The successful applicant will be expected to spend periods of up to a month at a time at accelerator and neutron facilities outside Sweden, in particular (but not limited to) Europe and the United States.
Bedömningsgrund
Regulations for employment as a postgraduate student can be found in the Swedish Statute Book (SFS 1998:80). Only those admitted to postgraduate studies can be appointed to such a position. When appointing applicants to such a position, first and foremost, their ability to benefit from postgraduate studies must be taken into consideration. In addition to pursuing postgraduate studies, the doctoral student may also perform other duties, including research, teaching and administration, according to the specific regulations.
A strong interest in experimental techniques is a prerequisite for consideration. Technical competence and ?hands-on? mechanical and electrical proficiency will be considered very strong merits. Experience with the LINUX operating system as well as with computer programming, in particular with the languages C++, C, and to a lesser extent FORTRAN, is an asset. In addition, experience with computer simulations of detectors using codes such as STANTON, GEANT, and MCNP is an asset, as well as data analysis using codes such as ROOT.
