Postdoctoral Research Associate : Ceramic Composites for Nuclear Applications - (Oak Ridge, TN)

Requisition Id 181 Overview: We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to conduct research and development of silicon carbide (SiC):based components for nuclear energy applications, with the primary focus on development of composite materials suitable for light water reactors. This role will allow incumbent to expand knowledge of radiation damage and structural changes to nuclear materials while using the world:leading facilities for testing and evaluating irradiated materials at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Low Activation Materials Development and Analysis (LAMDA) Laboratory. This position resides in the Nuclear Materials Science and Technology Group (NMST) in the Materials Science and Technology Division, Physical Sciences Directorate (PSD) at ORNL. SiC ceramics and its composites undergo development for accident tolerant fuel cladding and core:structures of light water reactors in NMST group at ORNL.
