Research Officer in Uncertainty Quantification

Applications are invited for a fixed-term, full-time Postdoctoral Research Officer in Uncertainty Quantification working in the School of Computer Science and Engineering on a UKAEA project focusing on tritium mobility in lithium-based ceramics.

Duties will include leading a modelling-focused work package aimed at quantifying and propagating the uncertainties arising from various parameters and mechanisms throughout a multiscale simulation code for tritium breeder blankets, and liaising with other group members involved in experimental work and atomistic simulation of tritium breeder blankets to validate the developed models.

Candidates should possess or be close to completing a PhD in Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering, (or have equivalent research experience) and have previous experience in uncertainty quantification such as by using Bayesian statistics or other statistical or deterministic approaches.

The successful candidate will be expected to commence on 1 April 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter, and the post is available until 31 March 2026.

This role will be located on campus at Bangor. Through our Dynamic Working framework, there will also be the option to spend some time working remotely (although remaining in the UK) to support work life balance, which will be discussed further with candidates at interview.

Applications will also be considered to carry out this role on a part-time or job share basis.

Closing date for applications: 12 March 2025

Informal enquiries can be made by contacting: Dr Tessa Davey, Reader in the School of Computer Science and Engineering, t.davey@bangor.ac.uk.
