Materials Scientist (Chemistry / Physics biased)
Are you interested in contributing to the future of the world's energy? If so, read on. Fusion, the process that powers the Sun and Stars, is one of the most promising options for generating cleaner, carbon-free energy. UKAEA leads the way in realizing fusion energy, partnering with industry and research for ground-breaking advancements. Our goal is to bring fusion electricity to the grid, supported by tomorrow's power stations. In pursuit of our mission, UKAEA embraces core values: Innovative, Committed, Trusted, and Collaborative. Job Description As a Materials Scientist (Chemistry / Physics biased), you will work within the Hydrogen-3 Advanced Technology (H3AT) department responsible for delivering tritium capabilities in support of: JET tokamak and fusion fuel cycle research in support of both the JET, ITER & DEMO programmes Tritium technology R&D Commercial activities involving tritium and other active gasses This role will support H3AT delivery of commercial activities, tritium technology R&D and fuel cycle research. The primary focus will be to help develop concepts of tritium systems for a wide variety of project requirements. The role will involve taking projects from the initial concept stage, through design and manufacture to a fully engineered solution, taking a leading role in some stages of project development. Additional Responsibilities Support with permeation experiments and experimental rig commissioning. Planning a test programme, responsible for the day-to-day running of experimental facilities and results analysis. Presenting results at conferences, contributing to journal papers and reports. Utilising experience with materials science and/or engineering. Activities may be undertaken in conjunction with other departments within the UKAEA or institutions abroad and require a high degree of teamwork. A willingness to undertake international travel is required. All practical work is to be undertaken in a controlled manner using risk assessments and development of controlled work packs and operating instructions. The appointee must also be environmentally aware. Qualifications Essential Requirements Materials scientist with research experience, PhD level or equivalent experience gained in academia or industry. Experience with planning a test programme, data analysis. Ability to pick things up quickly in new topics. Practical skills with building and testing new experimental facilities. Desirable Experience with design of experiments statistical analysis. Experience with materials microstructural characterisation techniques. Experience with gaseous reactors and/or vacuum systems. Knowledge of coatings. Rullion celebrates and supports diversity and is committed to ensuring equal opportunities for both employees and applicants. Job Info Job Title:
