## About the role

This position is well suited to an experienced materials scientist or engineer who enjoys operating at the boundary between experimental materials science and reactor engineering.

## What they're looking for

- Austenitic stainless steels and structural metallic materials
- Baseline tensile and mechanical properties
- High-temperature mechanical behavior
- Sodium environmental effects and material-property knockdown factors
- Creep and fatigue behavior
- Irradiation hardening, embrittlement, swelling, and other irradiation-induced degradation
