About
Model coupled thermal, hydrological and mechanical processes to assess geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste. Work interprets laboratory and field experiments on bentonite barriers, develops simulation tools and evaluates repository designs. The one-year term may be renewed up to five years, with expected annual pay of USD 106,400–123,200. Priority consideration is October 28, 2026.
Requirements
Relevant PhD and at least two years of postdoctoral or equivalent experience; coupled-process modelling expertise and C/C++, C# or Fortran programming.
