2013-PTT-F4-FGIV-1734 FG IV Scientific /Technical Project Officer


Position for:

FG IV Scientific /Technical
Project Officer


The vacancy is at the Institute for Energy and
Transport in the Nuclear Reactor Integrity
Assessment and Knowledge Management Unit
(F.4).
The MATTINO action addresses performance of
nuclear materials and safety of nuclear
components. The assessment of safety
margins and long-term degradation is done by
models ranging from physics-based models on
specific length and time scales to industrial
design codes. The modelling work needs to be
integrated with experimental work since
material properties need to be calibrated with
respect to test data and models validated by
laboratory experiments.

The MATTINO Action is looking for a scientist
in mechanical modelling of materials behaviour
and failure of components.

Qualifications:
The candidate should have a university degree,
in the field of mechanical engineering, physics,
materials science or nuclear engineering. A
Ph.D. or corresponding research experience is
an advantage. Proven experience with
modelling in the field of solid mechanics is
required. Experience with material
characterization and mechanical component
testing would be an asset. Good
communication and team working skills are
essential. Good knowledge of oral and written
English is mandatory.
