About this position

Postdoctoral Researcher opportunity at the University of Jyväskylä, Department of Physics, in accelerator-based neutron physics for BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy).

The project focuses on realizing a new Neutron Beam Line (NBL) for a new 3 MV Tandetron accelerator. The main research tasks include simulation and continued design of the beamline, especially the Li target, beam shaping assembly (BSA), safety shielding, neutron production, and moderation optimization. The work is connected to pre-clinical BNCT studies in collaboration with the Finnish BNCT community.

This is a two-year fixed-term postdoctoral position starting on 4 January 2027 or as agreed. The researcher will work in Jyväskylä, Finland, with possible conference and research visits abroad. Limited teaching/supervision duties may be included.

Eligibility highlights: PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, or equivalent Engineering degree completed before the start date; strong experimental and/or simulation skills in neutron physics and/or BNCT; prior experience in neutron production target design and radiation safety is preferred.

Funding and benefits: salary approx. EUR 3700–4300/month gross depending on qualifications and experience, plus holiday bonus, mobility compensation for abroad visits, and relocation support if moving from abroad.

How to apply: Prepare the required English PDF documents (CV, cover letter with research interests, publication list, PhD diploma, transcripts if available, and two referees’ contact details). Ensure your ORCID profile is public and up to date, then submit via the recruitment system by 2026-11-20.
