Theoretical Modeller
This is a challenging role that requires strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
You will be working within the Radiation Science Group, applying and developing radiation effects tools to solve complex problems.
Key Responsibilities
As a Theoretical Modeller, your main responsibilities will include:
* Developing and implementing radiation transport codes.
* Collaborating with colleagues to ensure these are robustly implemented.
* Applying these codes using High-Performance Computing (HPC) platforms.
* Utilizing meshing tools to support Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
Desirable Skills and Qualifications
We are looking for individuals with a strong degree in Physics or a related discipline, with a focus on modelling or code development.
A PhD or relevant post-graduate experience would be beneficial for this role.
A willingness to travel overseas is essential to participate in modelling workshops and peer reviews.
Familiarity with radiation transport codes such as MCNP, OpenMC, or Geant4 is desirable.
Developing physics codes and models, programming languages such as Python or C++, Linux and High-Performance Computing (HPC) are also desired skills.
Benefits
We offer a comprehensive package of benefits, including:
* 9-day working fortnight - meaning you get every other Friday off work, in addition to 270 hours of annual leave.
* Market leading contributory pension scheme.
