Job descriptionJob summaryThe Department of Materials, http://www.imperial.ac.uk/engineering/departments/materials/ wishes to appoint an outstanding individual with a strong track record in molecular dynamics modelling of inorganic materials applied to predict properties of inorganic materials http://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/r.grimes. The post is funded by EPSRC. This is an exciting opportunity to work on an EPSRC responsive mode grant on Compositional and Structural Evolution of Plutonium Dioxide: Underpinning Future Decisions, which was awarded to Manchester University in partnership with Imperial College London and the National Nuclear Laboratory. Your role will be to develop cutting edge models using molecular dynamics of defect structures, non-stoichiometry and surfaces in plutonium dioxide. To be able to relate these structure models to key properties of PuO2. To help other PDRAs in this project in the interpretation of their experimental and DFT modelling results by developing mechanistic models. Also, to determine differences with previous empirical model predictions. Furthermore, you are expected to develop strong collaborations with other modelling PDRAs within the Centre for Nuclear Engineering group at Imperial College who are working on related systems.
