The next generation of irradiation and corrosion resistant steels for fusion reactor
The United Kingdom is committed to achieving net zero (i.e. net zero carbon emissions) by 2050. This has triggered renewed interest in clean, low emission nuclear power. Read more
PhD in Mechanical Engineering - Modelling Flexible Nuclear Power Plant Integration in Future Low Carbon Energy Systems
The increasing penetration of intermittent renewable power within the UK energy network will require additional flexibility from conventional sources of generation, such as nuclear power plants. Read more
Development and Processing of Vanadium Alloys for Nuclear Fusion
Research Group:
PROCESSING
Background. UKAEA is at the forefront of fusion energy research including development of key power plant technologies. The delivery of viable designs for the consumable, in-vessel plasma-facing components (PFCs) is key to the realisation and the delivery of electricity to the grid from nuclear fusion. Read more
PhD in Mechanical Engineering - A Digital Twin-based approach for Nuclear Reactor Design and Prognosis
The design and lifecycle analysis of low carbon technologies, such as nuclear reactors, is vital to ensuring that nuclear technologies can support dynamic energy demand profiles and support verifiable decarbonization of energy services. Read more
Accelerator-based experimental studies of exotic nuclear structures
Applications are invited for a fully funded studentship leading to a PhD degree in nuclear physics. Read more
Understanding tritium trapping/retention in fusion materials due to helium induced cavities
A funded 3.5-year UK PhD studentship is available at the University of Birmingham with a tax-free stipend. The project is co-funded by the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s Tritium Fuel Cycle Division and will be collaborated with world-leading institutes in the US, France and Germany. Read more
PhD position in Materials Informatics
