VTT – beyond the obvious.

Do you want to join a young team working to revolutionize the way that the current and upcoming nuclear reactors are modelled? We are building a new Finnish computational framework for nuclear reactor analysis using state-of-the-art and beyond approaches for modelling reactor physics, nuclear fuel behaviour and coolant flow phenomena.

We are looking for a research trainee to work on computational methodologies for our new nodal neutronics code Ants. Nodal codes are used as day-to-day analysis tools in the nuclear industry for modelling the behaviour of the reactor core. You may also be working with Serpent, a world renowned high-fidelity Monte Carlo neutronics tool developed at VTT in order to generate input data and reference solutions.

The results of the work can be reported also as a Bachelor’s thesis or a special assignment.

We expect you to have at least 3 years of studies in a relevant field (e.g. physics or mathematics) complemented with basic programming skills including at least some experience on compiled programming languages.

We are especially looking for enthusiastic minds with strong motivation to grow and develop, so you don’t need to tick all of the boxes right now!

You are self-driven and able to work independently. You are willing to learn new things and have good problem-solving skills.

VTT is a place to make a difference in collaboration with other brilliant minds. Our mission is to create impact that generates sustainable growth and wellbeing in society as well as in industry. Our people are the core of the next generation VTT. Therefore, our personnel’s wellbeing, flexible work opportunities and competence development are key priorities for us.

With us, you can make an impact for a better future and you can be part of solving the biggest challenges of our time. The work on the future Finnish reactor analysis framework has recently started and we want you to be a part of it.

At VTT you also have an opportunity to continue working after your summer job as a part-time employee alongside of your studies or as a Thesis worker. According to Responsible Summer Job survey, 96 % of our summer interns were satisfied with their summer internship experience and 95 % were willing to continue working at VTT in the future.
