We are looking for young and motivated students who are interested in a PhD work in our Laboratory for fusion research https://f2.ijs.si/en/fusion, Department for low and medium energy physics (F2) at Jožef Stefan Institute, Slovenia. Fusion is seen as a carbon-free energy source for the future generations https://www.iter.org/ . In our research we want to partially simulate the conditions that will occur on the walls, surrounding the 100 million degrees hot fusion plasma: simultaneous 14 MeV neutron irradiation, helium accumulation and hydrogen isotope (HI) implantation. Our main goal is to foster microscopic understanding to be able to predict fuel (deuterium and tritium) retention and transport in the walls of a future fusion reactor and to understand the mechanisms that prevail.

Postdoctoral Programme JINR

As atividades estão focadas em estudos de reações nucleares utilizando feixes fracamente ligados radioativos e estáveis produzidos pelo Accelerador Pelletron do LAFN e o sistema RIBRAS (Radioactive Ion Beams in Brasil). O sistema RIBRAS produz feixes de 6He, 7,10Be, 8,12B, 8Li, com energias de cerca
de 3 – 5 MeV / n. A atualização recentemente financiada nos sistemas de detecção, eletrônica e aquisição de dados precisa da contribuição de pesquisadores jovens e excelentes, com interesses alinhados às nossas atividades de pesquisa.
Esperamos que os candidatos tenham doutorado em ciências nucleares, e sejam capazes de realizar trabalhos independentes com hardware e software. Espera-se que os candidatos contribuam para a instalação de novos softwares de aquisição / eletrônica digital para os diferentes conjuntos de detectores existentes (parede de nêutrons sensíveis à energia e posição, telescópios de partículas carregadas com detectores DeltaE pixelizados) ou em construção (arranjo Lyso-SiPm). Os candidatos participarão de experimentos com feixes estáveis e radioativos e são incentivados a propor iniciativas de pesquisa independentes.
A duração de bolsa é de dois anos. O prazo para inscrição é 20/11/2022.
Convidamos os candidatos interessados a enviar sua inscrição com um curriculum vitae, uma breve declaração sobre a experiência de pesquisa e interesses, juntamente com nomes de três referências que estarão dispostas a fornecer cartas de recomendação.A candidatura deverá ser enviada por e-mail para:

PhD Studentship: Unravelling structure-property relationships in quantum and functional materials
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our interdisciplinary group which works at the chemistry-physics boundary to unravel structure-property relationships in advanced functional and quantum materials (including e.g. ferroelectrics, multiferroics, quantum magnets and materials with strong spin-orbit coupling leading to exotic electronic and magnetic states). The PhD project forms part of a 5 year EPSRC-funded programme and will involve the synthesis and detailed chemical and physical characterisation of new materials along with the use of advanced data analysis techniques and bespoke in-situ neutron diffraction instrumentation developed within the group. Parts of the work will take place at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source (e.g. high-resolution neutron diffraction and complementary techniques), and there will be opportunities for collaborative work across disciplines on other highly specialised measurement techniques and with theorists.
The successful candidate will be further embedded in an interdisciplinary environment through being based in the School of Chemistry and being trained as part of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Materials cohort, joint with the School of Physics and Astronomy and the Centre for Designer Quantum Materials. This will enable development as an interdisciplinary scientist with a thorough grounding in experimental techniques, complemented by understanding of a wide range of current topics in materials research and the ability to work seamlessly across the chemistry-physics boundary.
The position is particularly appropriate to candidates with interests ranging from condensed matter physics to solid state chemistry and applicants from either background (or with joint degrees) are encouraged to apply.
Informal enquiries are strongly encouraged, please contact Dr Alexandra Gibbs: a.gibbs@st-andrews.ac.uk.
