A postdoctoral position / 24-month fixed-term contract is open at Irfu, 
CEA-Saclay to work on the project SENTINELLE, with a focus on the 
development of a Micromegas detector for online monitoring of the 
reactivity of low-power nuclear systems.

The position is expected to start *from November 2026 and no later than 
early April 2027*.
Applications will be reviewed as they are received. As the CEA 
recruitment procedure takes approximately two months, interested 
candidates are encouraged to contact us sufficiently in advance of their 
preferred starting date.

The SENTINELLE project (Stochastic neutron noise techniques for online 
surveillance) aims to develop new methods for online monitoring of the 
reactivity of low-power nuclear systems using temporal fluctuations in 
the neutron signal – stochastic neutron noise. These fluctuations and 
the temporal correlations between neutron events contain information on 
fission chains and can therefore be used to infer parameters related to 
the multiplication of the nuclear system. The long-term objective is to 
demonstrate the feasibility of an integrated “detector + algorithm” 
system capable of estimating reactivity from neutron-noise measurements, 
for example during reactor start-up or for monitoring corium during 
decommissioning operations at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
