Description
## Your tasks ##
* Conduct measurements using various neutron detection techniques to characterize the neutron fields produced by radionuclide sources in the PSI Calibration Laboratory
* Use Monte Carlo simulations to model the neutron fields and to develop new thermal neutron calibration facility
* Develop a method to evaluate the spatial and energy distribution of direct and backscattered neutrons and validate it using known neutron spectra from neutron spectrometric measurements and simulations
* Present results at the conferences and publish in scientific journals
## Your profile ##
* Master-s degree in physics, nuclear engineering or environmental sciences
* Hands-on experience preferably with neutron detection techniques
* Experience with Monte-Carlo Simulation of advantage
* Good command of the English language
