AI generated summary
- Candidate must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree, have programming experience (Python, C, Fortran), strong mathematical skills, knowledge of data analysis techniques, good communication and organizational skills, and be willing to learn. Knowledge of STFC/ISIS, nuclear physics, Monte Carlo methods, radiation safety, high performance computing, and research experience are also desirable.
- The candidate will be responsible for performing nuclear analysis calculations, developing and testing tools for analysis, conducting experiments, and producing reports and presentations.
Description
- The neutronics analysis placement student will work closely with a team of nuclear analysis experts to develop and test scientific software, tools and nuclear data. This could be testing how a new radiation transport code scales on large scale high performance computers, writing code to automate analysis and 3D visualisation of results or analysing experimental data on new moderator materials.
- The neutronics sandwich student may also help perform experiments at ISIS or other facilities to help benchmark code performance and improve the nuclear data that is used in the simulations. Recent nuclear analysis placement students have performed a range of studies including performing benchmark experiments, machine learning for moderator performance, validation of time dependant simulation capabilities and measurement of neutron backgrounds.
