About this position

The Department of Physics at the University of Jyväskylä is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher in Accelerator-Based Neutron Physics for BNCT for a project-based two-year appointment. The project focuses on realizing a new Neutron Beam Line for a 3 MV Tandetron accelerator, with the beamline scheduled to support research after delivery of the accelerator in 2026.

The main research responsibilities centre on the design and simulation of the neutron beam line, especially the lithium target and beam shaping assembly. The researcher will work on beamline continuation and optimization, including neutron production and moderation, and on safety shielding considerations for the new setup. The target reaction is the 7Li(p,n) reaction, and the beamline is intended to support pre-clinical studies of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy.

The position is embedded in the university’s accelerator-based materials physics research environment, with collaboration across the Finnish BNCT community. In addition to the core beamline work, the postdoctoral researcher is expected to contribute to other projects in the group. The role is based in Jyväskylä and includes an internationally oriented research setting, with conference and research visits abroad encouraged.

The advert also notes limited teaching and supervision duties in the Department of Physics, and the project is presented as a platform that may open further research opportunities during or after the appointment.

Funding details

Two-year fixed-term postdoctoral position with salary approximately EUR 3700-4300 per month gross, plus a yearly holiday bonus and mobility compensation for possible abroad visits.

What's required

A PhD in Physics or Applied Physics, or an equivalent degree in Engineering, must be completed before the starting date. Applicants should have good experimental and/or simulation skills related to neutron physics and/or BNCT, and prior expertise in neutron production target design and radiation safety is preferred. The postdoctoral researcher duties, qualification requirements, and language skills follow the University of Jyväskylä regulations and language guidelines.

How to apply

Update your ORCID profile and make publications publicly visible. Submit the application in English as PDF files: CV, cover letter with research interests, publication list, PhD diploma and transcripts, and contact details of two referees. Apply through the university recruitment system by 20 November 2026.
