Doctoral student in nuclear materials

Project description

Third-cycle subject: Physics

We are seeking a PhD student to work on the NUCLEAR project (NUclear Component Laboratory for Engineering Advancement and Research) within the research platform NuMaP (Nuclear Materials Platform) (). The project aims to develop the experimental laboratory environment as well as to conduct modeling and experimental work on advanced nuclear materials. NuMaP brings together KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Luleå University of Technology, Uppsala University, Linköping University, and Chalmers University of Technology with the nuclear industry in Sweden, and is funded by the Swedish Energy Agency. The PhD student will be part of a multidisciplinary team of researchers and students.

The doctoral student will participate in several sub-projects within NuMaP, with a primary focus on additive manufacturing of advanced nuclear materials such as alumina-forming steels and nuclear fuel, as well as on model...
