Job opportunities using GEMS

Postdoctoral Fellow @PSI

Your tasks

  • Develop and refine thermodynamic models for fission products release from coolant (Lead-Bismuth alloy), relevant to the safety of Lead-cooled Fast Reactors, using the open-source thermodynamic modelling software (GEMS). Couple thermodynamics to transport codes
  • Characterize cementitious pore fluid chemistry using thermodynamic modelling in alkali-activated and ternary-blended binders to assess compatibility with various nuclear waste streams
  • Investigate cesium transport pathways and mechanisms from spent nuclear fuel, using GEMS coupling with 2D/3D pore-level lattice Boltzmann simulators. Apply machine learning based surrogate models to accelerate geochemical modelling
  • Publishing the results in peer reviewed research papers, and presentations to showcase the work conducted

Please submit your application online by 8 June 2025 (including list of publications and addresses of referees) for the position as a postdoctoral researcher. More Information and Application
