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 29 June 2025 (including list of publications and addresses of referees) for the position as a postdoctoral researcher. More Information and Application
