PhD Research Fellow in Computational Nuclear Physics and Reactor Simulations (ref 305595)

Descrizione

Testo originale dell'annuncio (in inglese)

We invite applications for a PhD Research Fellow position in Computational Nuclear Physics and Reactor Simulations is available at Department of Physics. The PhD Research Fellow will be part of the Norwegian Nuclear Research Centre (NNRC). NNRC is a cross-disciplinary collaboration between Norway’s leading institutions within nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry research: University of Oslo (UiO), Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), and Institute for Energy Technology (IFE). 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. The Nuclear Physics group at UiO is involved in several research themes within the Norwegian Nuclear Research Centre (NNRC), from fundamental research within nuclear properties and nuclear fission, to more applied research within nuclear simulations and radionuclide production and speciation. This PhD Research Fellow will mostly contribute to nuclear simulations (reactor simulations). The project will include reactor simulations of future reactor systems with a focus on systems relevant for Norway. The objective is to further develop and validate machine-learning surrogate models derived from high-fidelity multiphysics simulations of reactor transients and quantify how surrogate uncertainties propagate through system safety analysis of nuclear installations, using tools such as open simulations platforms.
