In this position, you will characterize and analyze the behavior of nuclear fuels and structural materials used in current- and next-generation nuclear energy systems and research reactors. You will develop correlations to describe the characteristics of materials and models to describe their behavior in typical reactor environments. You will participate in planning, developing, and implementing research in the area of nuclear materials. You will perform experiments at the Argonne Intermediate Voltage Electron Microscope (IVEM), Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS), or Advanced Photon Source (APS). You will also perform pre- and post-irradiation examinations using FIB, SEM, and TEM. Furthermore, you will compare and validate predictions of nuclear material performance characteristics with experimental results and/or alternative benchmark models and evaluate and document the results of analytical activities for presentation to the technical community. You will support the preparation of proposals to attract internal/external funding for new projects.
**Position Requirements**
+ Extensive hands-on experience in using all following characterization techniques and analyzing the associated experimental results is required: TEM and FIB/SEM.
+ Knowledge of materials science principles, theories, advanced characterization techniques, and practices for the design, analysis, and testing of candidate nuclear fuel and cladding materials is essential.
+ Skill in the conception, design, and evaluation of innovative approaches and solutions to quantitative problems is necessary.
+ Skills in the use of computers and in the analysis of computational results, in the clear and effective documentation and communication of results, and in interaction with co-workers and support personnel are required.
+ Experience with micromechanical testing is a plus.
+ Ability to model Argonnes Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.
+ To perform the essential functions of this position successful applicants must provide proof of U.S. citizenship, which is required to comply with federal regulations and contract.
This level of knowledge is typically achieved through a formal education in nuclear engineering, materials science, physics, or associated field at the PhD Degree level.
