Introduction
Postdoctoral Fellowship (Applied Radiation Science and Technology/Nuclear Engineering)
Job description
The Centre for Applied Radiation Science and Technology jointly working with the Nuclear Engineering Department, North-West University, Potchefstroom (South Africa) is seeking outstanding and motivated candidates to apply for a postdoctoral fellowship in Applied Radiation Science and/or Nuclear Science and Engineering. The fellow will join a dynamic group of scientists involved in broad areas of nuclear science and engineering, with emphasis on nuclear energy, nuclear waste management, radiation protection, nuclear reactor design and engineering and reactor physics.
Minimum requirements
Applicants must have qualified for, or graduated with, a PhD in Radiation Science, Nuclear Physics, Health Physics, Nuclear Safety and Nuclear Engineering, as well as Radiation Protection or related field within the last 3 years. Experience in reactor safety analysis, nuclear waste management, radiation shielding, computer codes and nuclear system modelling would be key attributes. A strong focus will be on producing research outputs within a team environment, and proof of a strong publication record would thus be an additional asset. The expectations for this fellowship are publication productivity, co-supervision of post graduate students, and grant proposal writing.
Interested applicants should submit a CV that includes:
- A publication list
- References
- A summary of past research
- Proof of qualifications.
Enquiries and applications can be sent to Prof Bismark Tyobeka no later than Aug 31, 2024 (Bismark.tyobeka@nwu.ac.za).
