Organizational Setting
The Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications implements the IAEA's Major Programme 2, "Nuclear Techniques for Development and Environmental Protection". This Major Programme comprises individual programmes on food and agriculture, human health, water resources, environment and radiation technologies. These programmes are supported by laboratories in Seibersdorf, Monaco and Vienna. The Major Programme's objective is to enhance the capacity of Member States to meet basic human needs and to assess and manage the marine and terrestrial environments through the use of nuclear and isotopic techniques in sustainable development programmes. The Division of Physical and Chemical Sciences is responsible for assisting and advising Member States in research and development for the nuclear sciences, especially the physical and chemical sciences. Specifically, the Division provides support to Member States in the following fields: production of radioisotopes and radiolabelled products for applications in health care and industry; radiation source applications; research reactor utilization; applications of accelerators and nuclear instrumentation; nuclear and atomic data for applications; controlled nuclear fusion and isotope hydrology and geochemistry. Additionally, the nuclear science activities carried out by the Nuclear Data Section and Physics Section in the Division of Physical and Chemical Sciences of the Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications fall under Major Programme 1. The Nuclear Data Section (NDS) is primarily responsible for the generation and maintenance of a number of high-quality and fundamental nuclear and atomic databases and providing services to users worldwide. The main means of dissemination is via the NDS website, which provides interactive tools to present the required data.
Main Purpose
As a member of a team of the Nuclear Data Services Unit, the Software Engineer (Nuclear Data) provides a full range of technical tools enabling the completion of a range of project activities in the Nuclear Data Section encompassing international guidelines, enhancement of Member States' abilities to adopt and use fission and fusion civil energy technologies and address non-energy applications (medical, life sciences and analytical). The objectives are: (1) enhance the effective and rational storage, handling and retrieval systems for the IAEA and Member States’ nuclear data databases; (2) analyse and specify the concept and strategy of database design and software architecture, with the primary aim of foreseeing future the user needs, (3) invent and develop new methods of access to the data and formats for their presentation in an open source flexible and effective manner to ensure long-life cycles, and; be responsible for the visualisation of many types of data in an efficient and user-friendly fashion. Adopt universally recognized, open source, modern data technologies for this.
Role
The Software Engineer is: (1) a programme implementer in a team, providing access to appropriate and recommended data sets in order to assist in the planning and development of nuclear energy research worldwide by means of database and associated software developments; (2) a technical expert planning and leading activities identified with the development of nuclear database architecture and tools for their user-friendly data interrogation, extraction, visualisation and analysis; (3) a project officer who promotes, coordinates and undertakes data development projects in order to extend the potential adoption of up to date nuclear data in support of both nuclear fission and fusion research, and; (4) a data dissemination specialist who analyses users'’ needs and identifies new requirements for nuclear data software, derives the most effective and generic solutions, and designs, develops and implements multi-platform nuclear database software, including cross-database tasks, data formats and applications.
Functions / Key Results Expected

Provide technical input to the planning, development and implementation of the IAEA Nuclear Data programme for a variety of applications including those based on fission, fusion, medical and analytical methods.
Design, build and maintain secure, robust and efficient software for the storage and dissemination of a wide range of nuclear data. Ensure that the developed open source software is well documented and maintainable, and follows software development best practices (version control, test-driven development, continuous integration).
Improve and extend the IAEA Nuclear Data Services by designing and implementing new features based on user feedback.
Integrate all developments in a modern website.
Keep up to date with the technology and ensure that new project designs are being discussed among the Section staff, to ensure transparency and reusability.
Develop software and utility codes for day-to-day maintenance of major nuclear reaction databases, with specific focus on EXFOR and ENDF. Provide support to professional staff to enable efficient use of databases and tools across all areas of work and application.
Develop automated data curation and data quality assurance protocols for nuclear data libraries, with the goal of increasing accuracy, consistency and completeness.
Create software tools that accurately process and interpret nuclear data. Create user-friendly interfaces that allow users to easily access, visualise and analyse nuclear data. Create APIs that allow for easy access to the nuclear data.
Provide timely statistics regarding the usage of the Nuclear Data Section data, software and tools.
Assist Member States in using and retrieving the Nuclear Data Section data, software and tools. Provide presentations, documentation and trainings for using newly implemented features and projects.
