The Chemical and Fuel Cycle Technologies division is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to join a multidisciplinary team conducting use-inspired research that focuses on developing innovative materials, methods and models for assessing the corrosion behavior of durable glass, glass-ceramic, and alloy materials including nuclear waste forms. Specific tasks may include material production; designing and executing tests and experiments using standardized and novel chemical and electrochemical methods to determine corrosion mechanisms and quantify effects of material compositions and environmental variables on degradation kinetics by using chemical and electrochemical methods; developing advanced mechanistic models for predicting long-term degradation in service environments; and modifying formulations and production methods to improve material performance.
