**Overview of Responsibilities**:
**The Role**
Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to make a difference? Join our team and contribute to the future of fusion energy.
This project will deliver an enhanced understanding of the atomic scale processes that constitute the release of tritium from tungsten oxide, enabling improved estimates of tritium retention in plasma facing components (PFC) and optimization of strategies for decommissioning future reactors. The project will employ large-scale atomistic simulation based on first-principles development of trititum fundamental database and machine-learned potentials to identify the most important trapping and detrapping mechanisms that underpin the tritium migration through the interface between tungsten and its oxides.
We offer excellent opportunities for motivated and enthusiastic undergraduate students studying at UK Universities to join our 8-12-week summer placement scheme. The scheme is designed for students entering their penultimate or final year of studies, with potential opportunities post-graduation.
Our scheme gives you a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of one of the most advanced sources of sustainable and clean energy. During your summer programme, you will experience a broad range of diverse tasks, work on real projects, and gain invaluable experience within the fusion energy sector. UKAEA offers a nurturing and supportive community for you to gain some valuable work experience in a fascinating and rapidly evolving industry.
