Job description

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work on development of experimental methods for two-phase flows. We aim to develop a probe for measurement of void fraction and velocity at prototypic reactor conditions. The work includes development of methods for manufacturing miniature sensors and using these sensors in the HWAT facility. The HWAT facility was developed to study thermohydraulic phenomena relevant to small modular reactors (SMRs). The work is a part of a collaborative project in Europe and national project supported by Swedish nuclear regulator (SSM).

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
