PhD Position in Industrial Heritage and Legacy
1 month ago
This PhD position is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated researcher to contribute to a project that addresses the lack of research on the heritage value of the nuclear industry in the UK.
The researcher will work closely with lead academic supervisors, Professor John Schofield (Archaeology) and Professor David Jenkins (Physics), to define social and knowledge-based values that inform decisions about the future of the nuclear estate.
The project will involve developing and promoting key skills required to help NDA carry out its mission over the coming decades, and encouraging knowledge transfer between academic and industrial communities working on nuclear decommissioning.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in archaeology, physics, or a related field, with excellent research skills and the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team.
We offer a competitive salary of £40,000 - £50,000 per annum, depending on experience, and a comprehensive benefits package.
