A post-doctoral position at the University of South Carolina is available to support a significant and growing effort on the development and assessment of novel high temperature materials including structural materials, salt systems, nuclear fuels, and hierarchically structured materials.  Projects include understanding nano and framework structures for novel materials; developing models for complex advanced nuclear fuels, waste forms, and hydrogen storage materials; and development of representations of high temperature transport. The research includes the application of first principles calculations using density functional theory with the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) and related codes, and the complementary application of molecular dynamics.  Significant computational resources are available for use in the research.
