Postdoctoral Researcher in the mechanical properties of irradiated zirconium alloys

This postdoctoral position is fixed-term until 30 April 2025 and is part of
the MIDAS Programme Grant (https://www.zr-midas.org/) on the effect of
irradiation on the properties of zirconium alloys for use in the nuclear
industry. This is a joint project between Oxford and Manchester Universities
and Imperial College London, and several industrial partners. The post holder
will undertake independent research on the mechanical properties of MIDAS
samples, participate in the coordination of the wider project and provide
guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including PhD and
project students.





With a background in Materials or Materials Engineering, you will be self-
motivated and able to plan and deliver a research project. You will have a PhD
(or be near completion) in an appropriate area of materials science and
experience in some of EBSD, TEM, FIB, nanoindentation and micromechanical
testing techniques.





All applications must be made online using the Oxford University E-Recruitment
system, no later than 12 noon on 6 December 2024. You will be required to
upload a CV and a Supporting Statement as part of your application. **Please
do not attach any manuscripts, papers, transcripts, mark sheets or
certificates as these will not be considered as part of your application.**





Interviews are scheduled to take place at the Department of Materials shortly
after the closing date and you must be available during this time, either by
Teams or in person. Please note in normal circumstances only interview travel
expenses within the UK will be reimbursed.
