The imperial collage of London invites applications for a research associate full time position in the department of Materials. The aim is to investigate the mechanism of noble gas (He, Kr, Xe) accommodation, migration and accumulation in UO2 and ZrO2 based ceramics for inert matrix fuels and Pu disposition. The retention of these species is an important issue for the safe interim and long term storage of such materials. A combination of advanced TEM, synchrotron spectroscopic, ex situ ion implantation techniques and materials simulation methods, will be employed to characterise and understand the role of dislocation loops, grain boundaries, voids/bubbles and metamictisation in facilitating the accommodation and diffusion of noble gas species. We will develop this approach to link our understanding of these processes at the nanoscale with macroscale behaviour such as volume swelling and cracking. Detailed job description
The school of Industrial Engineering and Management, KTH, invites applications for a PhD student position at the division of Industrial Ecology. The PhD student will participate in the research project “Äspö model for radionuclide sorption”, which is directed towards improving the quantitative understanding of radionuclide retention in geological media, through experimental and theoretical methods.

This thesis is aimed at modelling and understanding the electrospray technique at an atomistic level. This work is part of a global laboratory project devoted to theoretically describe electrospray/mass spectrometry experiments (ESI/MS). During the thesis, the PhD student will gain skills in different domains of molecular modelling: quantum chemistry, ab initio and classical molecular dynamics simulations and force field development. Furthermore, he/she will be involved in developing our MDVRY molecular dynamics code, such that he/she will also gain skills in scientific programming. The thesis will be held in France near Paris (about 40' from downtown by city train) in a laboratory with researchers from CEA (Saclay), CNRS and University (Evry). Part of the Project could be done in collaboration with F.Calvo (LASIM, Lyon), P.-A.Hervieux (IPCMS, Strasbourg), R.Vuilleumier (LPTMC, Paris) and F.Martin (Universidad Autonoma De Madrid). The supervisors are specialists in atomistic modelling and theoretical physical-chemistry. A master in chemistry or physics is required.

The School of Pure and Applied Natural Sciences, part of the Faculty of Natural Science and Engineering (University of Kalmar, Sweden), now seeks a PhD student in Environmental Science, especially geochemistry with focus on trace elements. The research will be carried out at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory. The research will focus on trace elements – in particular the lanthanides – in soil, overburden and natural waters. This will include determination of how these elements are released and retained in the geological materials, and how they are transported in ground and surface waters. The methods will include analyses of existing data, and field work at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory and its surroundings.

The School of Pure and Applied Natural Sciences, part of the Faculty of Natural Science and Engineering (University of Kalmar, Sweden), now seeks a PhD student in Environmental Science, especially geochemistry with focus on ground water. The research will be carried out at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory. The research will focus on the chemical composition of ground waters, mainly in crystalline bedrock but also in Quaternary deposits. Of particular interest are chemical reactions in the aquatic and solid materials, and the phenomena occurring when groundwater of different composition meet and mix. The methods will include analyses and modeling of existing data, and field work at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory and its surroundings. Collaboration with hydrologists and utilization of hydrological models are important tools. Detailed job description Further information: mats.astrom@hik.se, ian.nicholls@hik.se, leif.eriksson@hik.se
