Internship - Visualization and statistical analysis of nuclear reaction data

The internship supports the Nuclear Data Section with compilation and evaluation of charged-particle induced reaction cross sections. The intern will compile experimental data, update EXFOR entries, and evaluate radioisotope production cross sections using optimization/fitting tools and nuclear model codes.

Responsibilities

• Compile experimental charged-particle reaction cross sections in EXFOR format.
• Update EXFOR entries compiling charged-particle reaction cross sections.
• Evaluate charged-particle induced radioisotope production cross sections using optimization/fitting tools, AL/ML or nuclear model codes (TALYS).

Requirements

• University degree in nuclear physics, nuclear chemistry or relevant fields.
• Experience of isotope production cross section measurements.
• Experience with EXFOR library.
• Experience of EXFOR compilation is an asset.
• Programming skill is an asset.
• Candidates must be a minimum of 20 years of age and have completed at least three years of full-time studies at a university or equivalent institution towards the completion of a first degree.
• Candidates may apply up to one year after the completion of a bachelor's, master's or doctorate degree.
• Candidates must not have previously participated in the IAEA's internship programme.
• Excellent written and spoken English essential; fluency in any other IAEA official language (Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian) an asset.
• Candidates must attach two signed letters of recommendation to their application.
