Postdoc Positions
Radiation Damage in Fusion Materials – Closed
Level A - Salary, $97,368 to $104,143 per annum + 17% superannuation
Full-time or Part-time
Fixed-term contract – 12 months, renewable to 24 months
Your research will provide insight into the radiation-induced degradation of advanced shielding materials exposed to a fusion reactor environment by performing atomic scale simulations of tungsten borides and other advanced ceramics. The work is part of a partnership between UNSW and our industry partner Tokamak Energy, and you will collaborate with colleagues at Imperial College London and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). This opportunity will allow you to publish high-quality research articles and contribute to the development of materials to address industry challenges in nuclear fusion.
