Job Description for Research Scientist (FTC - 24 months):

NNL is where your understanding of reactors fuels the nation. As part of our Fuel Reactor & Reprocessing capability, you'll play a vital role in developing the UK fuel cycle in line with advances in new technology and new processes. As old reactors reach the end of their lifespan, we need experts like you, with the technical skills to virtually model scenarios that not only enable us to explore new ways of managing the inputs and outputs of reactors, but also pave the way for the implementation of smaller, cleaner revolutionary new reactors. This is a place where you can use your knowledge and expertise to do long term meaningful work for years to come.

We invite applications for a 2-year industrial experimental research position investigating helium within plutonium oxide. Helium is generated during alpha decay of plutonium. How the helium atoms move through the plutonium oxide lattice, become trapped or released from the oxide under different conditions has important applications in the long-term storage and disposal of plutonium oxide, nuclear forensics and plutonium metal corrosion. The successful applicant will work with experts from AWE, Sellafield Ltd and NNL on the novel application of techniques to study this topic, including a particular focus on Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) alongside other materials characterisation techniques available within AWE and NNL - including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), powder X-Ray Diffraction (pXRD), and Raman spectroscopy.

The post is suitable for candidates with a PhD or equivalent level of independent research experience in solid state/material science, physical chemistry, electron microscopy or a similar subject.

The successful candidate will be trained in alpha handling skills, including alpha glovebox operations, and relevant characterisation techniques in NNL's Central Lab facility.

In addition to researching helium behaviour in plutonium oxide, the successful candidate will be given the opportunity to develop a detailed understanding industry projects on plutonium management across the partner organisation and work alongside industry experts and researchers and develop their contacts across relevant ARC communities. The expectation is that the research findings will be published and presented internationally.

At the end of the project, the successful candidate will have established themselves as an experienced plutonium researcher with the knowledge and experience to become a highly sought after Subject Matter Expert within the UK nuclear industry.

This research position requires the candidate to have or be able to gain Developed Vetting (DV) security clearance and to pass a full face respirator fit test.
