- Suggest Revision
- The University of Tennessee has an opening for a Research Assistant/Associate Professor in the area of computational multiscale materials modeling of hydrogen isotope permeation, trapping and retention in relevant materials and components for fusion reactors.
- This work will be focused on utilizing a suite of computational multiscale materials modeling techniques ranging from first principles- based electronic structure models to molecular dynamics and mesoscale models such as kinetic Monte Carlo or spatially-dependent reaction-diffusion-advection cluster dynamics.
- The modeling of hydrogen isotope behavior in these materials will be part of a larger set of experiment-theory feedback loops evaluating plasma facing components and structural materials in the fusion environment and associated performance degradation.
- The research faculty will work collaboratively with a team of faculty, postdoctoral associates, and students in Nuclear Engineering (NE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), and Physics, as well as scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
- Demonstrated Research Skills Strong communication skills and a demonstrated ability to work in a collaborative team environment spanning experiments and modeling.ar path to independence as a researcher is desired, although collaboration with more senior investigators will be expected.
