Description

We have an exciting opportunity to work within the Department for Materials Science and Engineering for a self-motivated researcher looking to make an impact in the field of safe disposal of radioactive waste.

You will join the Immobilisation Science Laboratory, to lead a research program utilizing a range of dissolution techniques to determine the durability of ceramic materials under development as plutonium wasteforms.

You will join an international team of researchers (UK, Belgium, Australia) to understand the leaching mechanisms and kinetics of U/Th-containing zirconolite and disposal-MOX materials.

The project will directly support policy decisions regarding the future management of the UK plutonium stockpile.

We're one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK.

The University's Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect.

We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
