Role description
The R&D Codes and Methods group at newcleo is seeking applicants for a Junior Research
Engineer position in the domain of radiation protection, reactor physics and computer simulation of
lead-cooled fast reactors. The Engineer will support the engineering studies with new ideas and
solutions, using a research-driven approach. This position will focus on the development of
radiation transport calculations for new LFR units and MOX fabrication facilities, supporting design
and safety studies. The role of this position contributes to the company's objectives in the field of
advanced calculation methods for reactor physics.
The R&D group in Codes and Methods supports the development of computer codes, physical
correlations and data analysis, methodologies, and engineering applications for criticality and
shielding, reactor design and safety studies. The successful candidate will work jointly with other
research staff to apply knowledge, best practices and techniques to the existing methodologies
used for reactor studies. The group operates in the areas of reactor physics, transport theory and
neutronics, reactor thermal-hydraulics and heat transfer, two-phase flow, and instrumentation
physics.
Main activities Participate in individual and collaborative research projects Support engineers and computer code users in routine design and safety studies Prepare technical reports and presentations Supervise internship work of undergraduate students Develop and support the community of new users for computer codes Become an advanced user of fuel inventory computer codes and radiation transport computer codes Desired qualifications Master's Degree in Nuclear Engineering PhD is a plus Fluent English, with Italian or French as optional languages Show a scientific mindset when approaching new tasks Knowledge of nuclear engineering principles, theories, and practices for the design and analysis of fast reactor systems Demonstrated background in neutron transport and reactor physics Experience with Python programming
