Post-doctoral positions at the University of South Carolina are available to support a significant and growing effort on the development and assessment of novel high temperature materials including structural materials, nuclear fuels, and radioactive waste forms. 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 VASP and related codes, and the complementary application of molecular dynamics.
