The Machine Directorate at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, invites applications for a Spallation Physicist.

Description of directorate/division
The ESS Target Division is part of the ESS Machine Directorate with responsibility to design, develop, procure, install, commission and test the systems needed to convert the energetic proton beam coming from the ESS accelerator to neutron beams that are utilized for experiments. The first step in this process is production of high energy neutrons through a spallation process involving the proton beam interaction with a tungsten target. The fast, high-energy neutrons that are released in the spallation process are slowed down to the energies that are suitable for different types of experiments at ESS, and then delivered to the instruments through beam ports. Key features of the target station are the target itself, the neutron moderator and reflector system, and the neutron beam-extraction system.

Job description and responsibilities:
The successful candidate will work in the target physics group, which is part of the target division at ESS. As a member of this group the successful candidate will work with the engineering work packages in target division and potentially with their in-kind partners on particle transport calculations, like shielding design and inventory calculations.

Qualifications:
Technical competencies:
• PhD or equivalent experience in physics or chemistry
• Advanced knowledge in spallation physics, radiation transport and/or radiation safety.
• Advanced knowledge in using the Monte Carlo particle transport codes like MCNP(X), Phits, Fluka, etc.
• 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 radiation shielding calculations.
• Experience in using burn-up code like Cinder or FISPACT to perform inventory calculations.
• Being able to communicate effectively and willingly in a multicultural environment.
