Description de l'emploi

Stellenbeschreibung

工作描述

To this date, all IBA products and systems are based or use either particle accelerators or particle detectors. Therefore, expertise about nuclear and electromagnetic interactions between particle and matter is key for various purposes. For instance, Monte Carlo simulations are used for:

• Shielding design for low- and medium-energy cyclotrons used for isotope production;
• Shielding design for high-energy accelerators used in Particle Therapy;
• Optimization of irradiation techniques for industrial applications using electron and X-ray beams;
• Development of new cancer treatment modalities using proton, heavy ion or electron beams;
• Support to the development of new detector concepts.

These simulations are sometimes experimentally validated through measurement campaigns, and different simulation packages are used depending on their relevance and the results to be obtained. More recently, IBA has also started to grow its expertise in matter activation resulting from the use of proton and electron beams, in preparation of building and equipment decommissioning and as part of its sustainability program.
 
As R&D Physicist, you will be involved in maintaining and developing this very specific expertise. You will learn from IBA’s experience and bring your own skills and motivation to further develop it. This includes developing your own network through collaborations with universities and participation to relevant workshops and conferences.
