 The research institute on the fundamental laws of the Universe (IRFU) and the department of reactor physics and applied mathematics (SERMA) at CEA-Saclay jointly open a postdoctoral position to work in the NENuFAR project: “New Evaluation of Neutrino Fluxes At Reactors”.

The goal of the NENuFAR project is to revise and possibly refine the predictions in order to address these discrepancies.

The successful candidate is expected to take a leading role in the computation of the activity of the fission products created in a reactor core throughout an entire cycle, using the Monte Carlo particle transport code TRIPOLI-4® developed at CEA-Saclay. In a second step, the candidate is expected to participate in the revision of the predictions for antineutrino spectra using the results obtained in the first part of the study, along with a refined modeling of the thousands of beta branches which make up a reactor antineutrino spectrum.
