Hours:
Full time
Contract Type:
Fixed Term for 10-12 weeks
Location:
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell, Oxfordshire
Interviews:
The recruitment process involves a technical interview only that will take place virtually in April 2024
Start:
June 2024
The neutronics group is responsible for the nuclear analysis used to support the design and optimization of upgrades to the target, reflector and moderator assemblies as well as new neutron instrument beamlines.
The main focus of the neutronics group is large scale simulation of the facility, but we also have an increasing experimental program to gather data to support future facility designs.
Summer Placements at STFC
STFC's incredibly diverse range of placements allow you to work alongside world leading engineers, scientists, and technicians in highly collaborative environments.
Whichever you choose, you will become a critical member of the team in which you will be exposed to exciting projects and challenges from the start.
You will also be supported every step of the way by our dedicated Early Careers Development Team
STFC offers a benefits package crafted to provide an excellent work/life balance including flexible working hours, health promotion programmes, and subsidised restaurant and coffee outlets.
About the role
This project will investigate a new deterministic transport code currently under development at Imperial College to enable it to simulate neutron instrument shielding.
The code aims to use an unstructured mesh to define the geometry and achieve similar levels of scaling on high performance computers.
The project will aim to extend and improve the code so it can be applied to a relevant facility problem.
This will involve programming to extend the code and to analyse benchmarks, developing tests, using UK leading high performance computing.
Specifically, the successful student will learn about:
- Radiation transport codes
- Contribution to leading research as part of a collaboration
- Nuclear data
- CAD and meshing
- High performance computing,
- Data analysis and computer programming.
Essential criteria:
- Are in full time education at university, and will be returning to university/your studies to complete your undergraduate degree following the placement
- Have the right to live and work in the UK for the duration of the placement
- Studying an undergraduate degree in physics, computing or nuclear engineering and on track to achieve a 2:1 or higher
- Experience of computer programming such as Python, C or Fortran
- Competent and confident using mathematics to solve problems
- Good communication skills
- Willingness to learn
- Enthusiasm
Desirable criteria:
- Knowledge of STFC/ISIS
- Knowledge of nuclear physics
- Knowledge of radiation and radiation safety
- Knowledge of high performance computing
