We are now looking for a Research Scientist to join our Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics team.
As a Research Scientist, your key goal is to create impact to society and our customers through scientific excellence. In this position, you will have an essential role in carrying out strategically aligned project work involving experimental research on fusion materials. Your role may be as an expert, project manager or both.
Our team, Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics works on a range of topics related to structural integrity and ageing phenomena of metals across a range of industries targeting low carbon solutions, in particular the materials utilized in nuclear power plants. We create impact through reliable high quality experimental research conducted to thoroughly understand and quantify the mechanical behaviour of materials in demanding applications and environments. Our materials research laboratories are located in Otaniemi in Espoo. They include modern facilities for safely testing neutron irradiated materials in the radiological laboratory of the VTT Centre for Nuclear Safety, and another laboratory for other industrial sectors more broadly. The latter will move to a totally new materials research laboratory currently under construction on the same campus.
