The duties of the ESS spallation physics group include, but are not limited to:
• Neutronics: Monte Carlo transport calculations (MCNP, Phits, Fluka, etc) and activation calculations (CINDER, Fispact, etc).
• Computer tools and cross-section development.
• Experimental verifications & developments.
• Study of materials of interest for the operation and upgrade of the facility.
• Interface to the neutron scattering instrument teams
Job description
The successful candidate will be part of the ESS Spallation Physics Group. As an experienced scientist the new employee will coordinate and work on shielding design and activation calculations.

• Ability to obtain an MCNP(X) license.
• Experienced in applying variance reduction methods for deep penetration problems in Monte Carlo transport calculations.
• Experience in using analytical formulas for neutron and gamma transport calculations.
• Experience in using burn-up code like Cinder or FISPACT to perform inventory calculations.
• Fluent in English, oral and written
• Being able to communicate effectively and willingly in a multicultural environment.
• Willingness to show initiative.
• Being able to develop solutions for evolving designs and requirements.
• Team player that can work independently.

Desired qualifications are:
• License for MCNP(X)
• Experience in designing and/or operating of spallation sources.
• Experience in designing and/or operating of research facilities.
• Knowledge in C++.
• Knowledge of European languages other than English.
Duration & Location
The position is permanent with six months initial probationary period.
Your work place will be situated in Lund, Sweden.
