Join the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy as a Materials Scientist and contribute to the development of high-performance computer models for microstructurally and chemically complex materials.
Key Responsibilities:- Develop and advance UKAEA's research in microstructurally and chemically complex materials simulations.
- Explore applications of density functional theory, atomistic force field, and dislocation dynamics models to predict the evolution of materials under expected fusion conditions.
- Extend research to include non-fusion applications, broadening the scope and impact of the work.
- Actively participate in, facilitate, and potentially lead international projects, fostering collaboration among scientists from three or more countries.
- Develop new collaborations in cross-cutting areas of materials and engineering simulations, ensuring UKAEA's research maintains an internationally leading position.
- Produce consistently high-impact scientific output, including conference presentations and first-author journal papers, contributing primarily to the EPSRC/EUROfusion research program while collaborating closely with other programs at UKAEA.
- PhD degree in condensed matter theory, computational materials science, or related discipline.
- Established expert in simulations involving High Performance Computing, preferably in condensed matter theory or computational materials science.
- Long-term vision for fusion research needs in materials science.
- Ability to communicate and influence other stakeholders, especially post-holder's equivalents in universities, international laboratories, etc.
- Interest and ability to interact, collaborate with and where required supervise members of staff involved in related projects.
We welcome applications from under-represented groups, particularly individuals from black and other ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities, and women. Our Executive team, supported by our 'Equality, Diversity and Inclusion' (EDI) Partner and Inclusion Ambassadors, actively promotes EDI and takes steps to increase diversity within our organization.
