Research Scientist - Radiolysis (FTC 24 Months)

Category: Fuel, Reactor and Reprocessing

Salary: Salary starting at £41,991

Closing Date: 2023-12-18

Location: Sellafield, Cumbria

Job Description for Research Scientist - Radiolysis:

The UK ARC (Alpha Resilience and Capability) Programme is a collaboration between UK Civil and Defence operators and laboratories (Sellafield Ltd, AWE, DSRL, NWS and NNL), the NDA, the ONR and DESNZ with the purpose to sustain and enhance our world leading alpha capabilities and prepare the UK nuclear industry to enact critical national programmes.

A 24-month research associate position, with the objective to investigate the effects of metal/water interfaces on the radiolytic generation of hydrogen.

Background to research topic: The focus of research during the appointment will be the effect of inter-phase surfaces (such as arise in thin water films on the surface of metallic or oxide solids) on the rate of radiolysis. Such inter-phase surfaces are known to enhance radiolysis due to transfer of energy from the solid surface to the water phase. 

The role is part of the ARC (Alpha Resilience and Capability) national programme, aimed at providing investment to develop specialist nuclear skills. The post would be suitable for individuals with a degree/ advanced degree in a variety of disciplines who are interested in developing technical knowledge in skills in an area of significance for the nuclear sector. Direct experience of the topic area of focus is not required as a key objective of the programme is to develop skills/capability.

The post is a 24-month appointment within NNL with opportunity to work closely, via placements as appropriate, with other organisations within the ARC programme and academic experts at The Dalton Cumbria Facility. This work will include literature research, and performing a gap analysis to identify areas ripe for development. The output from these studies will be used to consider experimental and modelling work required to fill the identified gaps. The successful candidate will engage with operations groups within each organisation in order to obtain information on relevant plant scenarios: such information is important to compare with experimental scale results.

Following the above initial stages, the successful candidate will collaborate with experts from across the nuclear industry and academics at The Dalton Cumbria Facility, to develop models and a detailed experimental plan to address current gaps in knowledge.

NNL and other ARC programme members are involved in a range of active research topics associated with radiolysis. A key objective of the ARC programme is the development of capability including transfer of knowledge to new workers in the field; as such, the successful candidate will benefit from working closely under the guidance of existing experts in related topic areas.

Following the 24-month period, an opportunity will be provided to apply for a role within the programme partner organisations.

The research post is located in Cumbria, with flexibility to move location for the six-month secondment and periods of work in the relevant partner organisations.

Please note your CV may be shared with partners such as: Sellafield, AWE, Dounreay, NWS, NTS, NDA and Dalton Cumbria Facility/Manchester University.
