Job Description
Your responsibilities
The Radiation Protection group within the HSE Unit is participating in the development of the FLUKA Monte Carlo radiation transport code. FLUKA has a wide range of applications spanning accelerator design and shielding radiation protection particle physics dosimetry detector simulation hadrontherapy. At present the existing codebase is extended while in parallel a completely new generation of the code is being developed using stateoftheart software development techniques in C.
Responsibilities:
- Work in the code development team that integrates various members from the Radiation Protection (HSERP) & the Sources Targets & Interactions group (SYSTIBMI)
- Extend existing and develop new features that are of high interest to the Radiation Protection community (biasing based on statistical learning activation calculations delayed radiation calculations etc.
- Help debugging problems and participate in the support of the user community youre passionate about stochastic modelling advanced statistics numerical methods in C and pushing the forefront of radiation transport simulations we encourage you to apply. Join us shaping the next generation of FLUKA.

About us
At CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the worlds largest and most complex scientific instruments they study the basic constituents of matter fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on .
