  • Minimum seven (7) years progressively responsible related work experience, demonstrating a sound knowledge of current principles and practices in a specialized field of science/engineering.
  • A minimum of two (2) years' experience with Monte Carlo codes (e.g., FLUKA, MCNPX, GEANT4, PHITS, MARS) for radiation transport.
  • Document the calculation results in presentations and technical reports.
  • Demonstrated ability to determine shielding requirements for the radiation fields generated during accelerator and beamline operation.
  • Strong interpersonal and effective oral and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master's degree in radiation/health physics, medical physics, nuclear engineering, or in closely related fields.
  • Minimum ten (10) years progressively responsible related work experience, demonstrating a sound knowledge of current principles and practices in a specialized field of science/engineering.
  • A minimum of three (3) years' experience using Monte Carlo codes (e.g., FLUKA, MCNPX, GEANT4, PHITS, MARS) to perform shielding analyses and measurement of complex radiation fields.
  • Peer reviewed published work involving radiation physics calculations and measurements.
  • Previous experience working in radiation protection and particularly at Synchrotron Radiation Light Sources will be an asset.
  • Document results of studies in presentations and technical reports and present your work in international conferences/workshops.
  • Programming skills (Fortran, C/C++, Python, bash).
  • Excellent interpersonal oral and written communication skills.
