  • Experimental research infrastructure and computational resources to be further developed in the project.
  • Collaborations with organizations leading nuclear reactor safety research at national and international levels.
  • A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
  • Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
  • Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
  • A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made.
  • PhD in nuclear engineering, nuclear power safety, engineering mechanics or similar, with extensive experience from reactor thermal hydraulics (TH), severe accident (SA) research and safety analyses.

Preferred qualifications

  • A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline
  • Knowledge and experience from using TH and/or SA codes.
  • Hands-on experience from lab work related to TH or SA research.
  • Good communicative skills, team work competence and collaborative skills, as well as capability to work independently.
  • Motivation and dedication to research work is a very strong merit.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.
