Computational Materials Scientist

About the Opportunity

We are seeking a Computational Materials Scientist to join our Advanced Systems & Consultancy Sub‑Division of our Technology Division. We have a growing team of materials modellers and are looking for someone to join this high‑performing group, who can help us reach our goals of becoming a world leading research centre.

This role focuses on the development of mechanistically informed models to predict degradation behaviour in materials. The role requires a preexisting knowledge and skill set in one or more of the following modelling methods: molecular dynamics, density functional theory, kinetic rate theory, CALPHAD or machine learning. The role will utilise these skills to model the behaviour and degradation of reactor core materials, particularly cladding and fuel, and their performance under in‑reactor conditions.

You will join the Structural Integrity and Materials Engineering (SIME) team, with opportunities to c...
