**Job Description**
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to develop and improve models and codes for assessing the liquid source term during severe accidents (SA) in Light Water Reactor (LWR) systems. This research will involve evaluating the characteristics of the containment water pool using system codes, and investigating the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of Cesium (Cs) and Strontium (Sr) chemistry, including model development and implementation into system codes. This project is a contribution to the larger EU project SOCRATES, which aims to address critical gaps in understanding liquid source terms during SAs and develop innovative solutions for mitigating and monitoring radionuclide release into the environment.
**Skills & Abilities**
• Research expertise
• Teaching abilities
• Awareness of diversity and equal opportunity issues, with specific focus on gender equality
• Knowledge and experience from using SA system codes
• Knowledge and experience from using Thermodynamic tools for composition equilibrium assessment
• Good communicative skills
• Teamwork competence and collaborative skills
• Capability to work independently
• Motivation and dedication to research work
• Teaching experience (an advantage)
**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Nuclear engineering
• Nuclear power safety
• Radiochemistry
• Nuclear chemistry
**Experience**
Experience Required:
• 4-10 years (for relevant research fields)
Other:
• Extensive experience in material science, severe accident (SA) research and safety analyses
