Post description
This academic position is open in both UCLouvain and KU Leuven: it is a 50% position at UCLouvain and a 50% position at KU Leuven. The person recruited must hold both positions.
The KU Leuven offer is available here.
Teaching
You will develop your teaching in line with the KU Leuven and UCLouvain visions of active, research-based teaching, and make use of the opportunities for developing a professional teaching approach offered by the faculty and the university.
You will also supervise master’s theses.
Research
You are expected to set up a research programme that will strengthen the research portfolio of the two research divisions in KU Leuven and UCLouvain. The focus of your research will be on thermal-hydraulics to support the development of lead-cooled small modular reactors (SMR’s) including the opportunities that could be offered by the use of additive manufacturing for an improved design. Research topics may include the integrated thermal-hydraulic design of SMR systems, e.g. to ensure passive safety, the optimal design of heat exchangers, etc.
The research will be carried out in close collaboration with the SMR research and development team at SCK CEN, with the aim of intensifying research on nuclear fission in Belgium.
You are capable to mobilize expertise from other research teams within both KU Leuven and UCLouvain in order to ensure the intensification of the academic research on nuclear fission.
In addition
You are prepared to provide academic, social and internal service, both within the department and university and beyond. Given the focus of the position on research and teaching, a strong involvement in service is not expected.

Experience
You have a strong research profile. The quality of your research is evidenced by publications in leading international journals or books. International experience is an advantage.
You have demonstrable (i.e. through formal evaluation) qualities for academic teaching. Teaching experience is a plus.

**Skills**:You work well as part of a team of teachers and integrate research results into your teaching. You are capable of conducting high-level scientific research, from obtaining funding to team management. You are creative, open to pedagogical innovation and multidisciplinarity.
You communicate in French and English. If this is not the case, you undertake to acquire a command of these two languages within two years of taking up your post.
Knowledge of Dutch is required at KU Leuven. If you have no or insufficient knowledge of Dutch upon recruitment, training courses will be available.
