Haldenreaktoren og JEEP II-reaktoren er nedlagt og skal dekommisjoneres. På sikt skal IFEs nukleære virksomhet overføres til Norsk Nukleær Dekommisjonering (NND), som har fått ansvaret i Norge for sikker nedbygging av den nukleære virksomheten. I den forbindelse omstilles den nukleære virksomheten (NUK) på Institutt for energiteknikk (IFE) for å være rustet for de nye utfordringene.

IFE ønsker å ansette en rådgiver i midlertidig stilling fram til 01.01.2024 som direkte er knyttet til Program Brukt Brensel, som inkluderer mer enn 18 prosjekter og flere studier. 

Vi søker derfor en engasjert og selvgående person som har kunnskap om forebyggende sikkerhetsarbeid, forståelse og kunnskap om IKT sikkerhet, og som gjerne har kjennskap til nukleær virksomhet.  

The department "Environmental Industrial Processes (MILJØ)" focuses on research and development of new technologies to reduce the environmental impact related to the production and utilization of energy and materials. The focus areas are: CO2 capture and use, hydrogen production with integrated CO2 capture, thermal conversion processes, bioenergy/biofuels production, mineral- and metal-based industrial processes and material development (CO2 sorbents, catalysts, oxygen and energy carriers, multifunctional materials). Activities include: material and process technology development, design of experimental facilities, experimental validation, process design, upscaling of chemical processes, technical feasibility studies, modeling and simulation and material characterization. The Department has active participation in several national and international networks and R&D forums (Hydrogen Europe Research, EERA, EMIRI, OREEC, etc.). In addition, the Department is a research partner in the FME “Norwegian Centre for Sustainable Bio-based Fuels and Energy, Bio4Fuels”. The major part of these research activities is supported by Norwegian and international industry partners, together with funding programmes from the Research Council of Norway and the European Union. The candidate will work in the field of environmental industrial technology with focus on mineral processing by chemical (inorganic and organic) and physical methods, and integrating CO2 capture and utilization processes, and materials production and characterization.

The candidate is expected to have an established professional network and to initiate new contacts and collaborations with industry and scientific partners. He/she has to be able to generate and lead successful research projects, including coordination of project teams, management of project economy and supervision of teams. Experience with European, Norwegian and/or international research programs and funding schemes, as well as industrial research projects, is required. The area of work will be focused on hydrometallurgy and organic chemistry applied in the field.
