Genf, Schweiz Transmutex SA Vollzeit

Founded in 2019, Transmutex aims to reinvent nuclear energy/medicine/waste recycling by using an accelerator-driven system (ADS) to optimize the transmutation of long-lived nuclear waste. The innovative combination of particle accelerators and Thorium fuel based on existing long-lived radioactive waste allows to generate energy intrinsically safe and recycle the stockpile of long-lived waste in a proliferation-resistant way.

We are seeking a qualified and motivated Material Scientist to join our team and contribute to the study, characterization and development of innovative material solutions for advanced nuclear technologies.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Design, plan, and monitor experiments in collaboration with internal engineering teams, experimental facilities, and external research and industrial partners.
  2. Analyse and evaluate material behaviour to inform design hypotheses and material selection processes.
  3. Oversee material characterization campaigns, including testing under extreme conditions such as irradiation and exposure to hot, flowing liquid lead.
  4. Conduct post-irradiation examinations (PIE) and interpret test results to assess mechanical, chemical, and microstructural performance.
  5. Support the setup and operation of experimental facilities for material testing under liquid lead environments and radiation fields.
  6. Prepare technical reports, present findings, and provide recommendations for material improvements in the design of ADS systems.

Requirements

The candidates we are looking for must have:

  1. A Master or PhD in Materials Science, Nuclear Engineering, or a related field.
  2. 3+ years of experience in material testing and characterization.
  3. Solid knowledge of material behaviour under extreme environments, such as irradiation and liquid metal exposure. Knowledge of metallurgy is an advantage.
  4. Hands-on experience with advanced characterization techniques (e.g., SEM, TEM, mechanical testing) and post-irradiation examination (PIE).
  5. Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret experimental results to guide material selection and improvements.
  6. Experience with liquid lead or lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) corrosion studies and mitigation strategies.

Additionally, it will be an advantage if you have:

  1. Familiarity with fast reactors, ADS technologies, or nuclear structural materials.
  2. Previous experience collaborating on large-scale experimental campaigns or projects involving research facilities.
  3. Previous professional experience in Class A radioactive laboratories.
  4. Knowledge of material modelling tools for radiation damage and/or erosion/corrosion.
  5. Proficiency in French or German.

Apply by January 31, 2025.

Starting date: at your earliest convenience.

We offer a competitive salary and social security, accident/disability insurance and pension plans; as well as five weeks paid vacation.
