Description:
Nuclear energy is a versatile, flexible, and low-carbon power source that plays a critical role in the transition toward a decarbonized economy. A key aspect of ensuring the safety and efficiency of nuclear power is understanding the behavior of nuclear fuel at high burn-up levels. Such insights are vital for extending the safe operating range of nuclear fuel and for the handling of post-irradiation materials.
QUALIFICATIONS
To be considered for this position, you must hold a doctoral degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Nuclear Chemistry, Nuclear Physics, Reactor Physics, or a closely related field awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). A background in solution chemistry, solid-state chemistry, and electrochemistry is highly desirable.
Hands-on experience in practical chemical laboratory work is essential. Applications lacking documented lab work experience will not be considered.
You should also demonstrate the ability to work in a multicultural environment. Fluency in English is required, and knowledge of a Nordic language is a plus.
Please observe: Since the department is also a nuclear facility, only citizens of the countries who are signatory of Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons can apply and be considered for the position. Please check the status of your country before applying.
Responsibilities:
As a Postdoc, your work will focus on key scientific questions related to your project. Specifically, you will investigate direct oxide precipitation from oxidation-state-controlled actinide solution mixtures. This work will involve handling highly radioactive materials, requiring operations in specialized glovebox systems.
In addition to your research, you will help maintain the laboratory systems to ensure a safe working environment. You are also expected to provide mentorship and support to PhD and Master’s students, particularly in scientific integrity, subject knowledge, and safe laboratory practices.
