We are seeking a post-doctoral research associate in materials modelling, keen to join us in the challenge of delivering safe, efficient fusion energy.
You will use classical molecular dynamics to undertake simulations of irradiation damage in a variety of materials, then develop and deploy novel analysis methods to characterise the emerging patterns of damage and predict how damage accumulates and microstructure evolves over time to high doses. You will create tools encapsulating the insight from your simulations and analysis and share them with the community.
We are looking for an enthusiastic communicator and team player, with a commitment to best practice in open and reproducible science and a keenness to work with industry to understand how their research can address real-world challenges. You will be an independent-minded researcher, capable of directing your own research and managing your own time, with a willingness to contribute to group activities, including helping to supervise PhD students.
Amongst other benefits, we offer 41 days annual leave (including closure days and Bank Holidays), with the possibility to purchase up to ten additional days, and up to 5 days of paid time off to cover emergency caring responsibilities. We have a commitment to work life balance including flexible working opportunities and hybrid working where possible, with the possibility of holding this post on a part-time basis.
The role will involve significant interaction with UKAEA and is an excellent opportunity to form or deepen links with the growing academic and industrial fusion energy research community.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
