Irradiation and Characterization of Fusion Materials - Postdoctoral Researcher

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to advance the development of novel complex metal alloys for structural applications in fusion reactors. The successful candidate will focus on light and heavy ion irradiation experiments to investigate fundamental radiation damage mechanisms and their impact on microstructural evolution and resulting properties. Job Description

The Materials Science Division at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on the development of novel alloy systems with improved radiation tolerance and mechanical properties. Design and execute ion irradiation experiments on refractory metals and alloys. Develop and characterize novel alloy systems with improved radiation tolerance and mechanical properties. Employ advanced characterization techniques to assess microstructural changes, defect evolution, and mechanical response post-irradiation. Analyze experimental data and contribute to the understanding of irradiation effects in candidate materials. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and prepare technical reports and publish findings in peer-reviewed journals. Qualifications

Ph.D. in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Nuclear Engineering, or a closely related field. Demonstrated experience in radiation damage experiments. Strong background in advanced materials characterization. Excellent analytical and organizational skills. Proficient verbal and written communication skills. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to providing a work environment free of discrimination and harassment.
