Nuclear Engineering jobs

RIKEN’s Nishina Center is recruiting one researcher or technical specialist for accelerator-based radioisotope production. Work covers ion-beam development and the operation, maintenance and improvement of the RI Beam Factory’s heavy-ion accelerators. The role supports a project with the Fukushima Institute for Research, Education and Innovation. Employment…

Contribute scientific research to fusion-energy development at UCLA. The project-scientist appointment addresses challenges in establishing practical, continuous fusion-energy systems.

Develop simulation approaches for fusion-energy research. The postdoctoral appointment supports investigation of the physical and engineering challenges involved in sustained fusion systems.

Model coupled thermal, hydrological and mechanical processes to assess geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste. Work interprets laboratory and field experiments on bentonite barriers, develops simulation tools and evaluates repository designs. The one-year term may be renewed up to five years, with expected annual pay of USD…

Research high-power accelerator and target technologies for nuclear transmutation. The programme explores methods for converting long-lived fission products into shorter-lived nuclides.

Contribute to production and delivery of radioactive-ion beams using the BigRIPS separator. The postdoctoral appointment combines research with development of experimental beam infrastructure.

Model nuclear reactors and fuel cycles for nuclear nonproliferation research. The work includes reactor-core physics, material inventories, radiation detector response and safeguards analysis, in collaboration with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Division. Applications are made on the employer’s recruitment portal; no closing date is stated. Initial…
