Postdoc Corrosion Chemistry in Molten Salt Reactors

Job description

Light water reactors (LWRs) are currently the reference in the nuclear industry, but the current fleet of reactors will reach in a few years the end of their operating licenses. Generation IV reactors, among which the Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), are currently being developed to provide more efficient, safer, and more sustainable reactor technologies.

One of the bottlenecks for the commercialisation of the technology in the near future is a thorough understanding and modelling of the corrosion chemistry of the molten salt nuclear fuel in contact with structural materials in the reactor core. The molten salt is a very corrosive medium at the high temperatures during reactor operation, and the long term integrity of those structural materials is of utmost importance for safety. The performance of those materials needs to be assessed, and innovative corrosion mitigation strategies need to be developed to extend their lifetime.

The goal of the Post Doc will be to improve our understanding of the corrosion chemistry in chloride based salts for a selection of cladding candidates. The project will involve static and dynamic corrosion testing, coupled with post examination of the salt and samples by means of techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray and neutron diffraction, calorimetry, INAA etc. Electrochemistry experiments will also be designed and performed.

As part of the Post Doc project, the candidate will supervise bachelor and/or master students, and will contribute to some educational activities.

This Post Doc position will contribute to activities in the PRONTO (RVO) project recently granted, and it will also involves a collaboration with Thorizon, a MSR startup company in the Netherlands.

Job requirements
We are looking for an outstanding candidate with a PhD degree in Nuclear materials Chemistry, Materials Science, Applied Science or a related field. Candidate should have an affinity for multidisciplinary fields of research and a hands-on attitude towards experimental work. Computer skills in simulation and modelling are also desirable. We expect creativity, flexibility and ability to co-operate within an interdisciplinary research group. Excellent communication skills, including good written and spoken English, as well as the ability to conduct independent scientific work are required. Delft University of Technology is a bilingual organisation; fluency in English is essential.

PhD Position Decision-making Under Uncertainty for Emerging Orphan and Breakthrough Medical Devices

Job description

Innovative medical devices can offer important benefits to patients, especially when existing diagnostic or treatment options are limited. At the same time, the available clinical evidence may be limited or contain uncertainties when a device is assessed for market access. Regulators and notified bodies therefore need to decide when evidence is sufficient, what uncertainties can be considered acceptable, and under what conditions additional evidence should be collected after a device enters the market.

In this PhD project, which is part of the European COMPASS4MD project, you will study how these decisions are currently made in practice, and how uncertainty could be managed in the future. You will explore how uncertainty in clinical evidence is described and assessed, which factors make uncertainty more or less acceptable, and how unmet medical needs, small patient populations and expected patient benefits influence regulatory decisions. Building on these insights, you will examine how future regulatory approaches could support more responsible decision-making under uncertainty.

The research combines several methods. You will review regulatory documents and publicly available regulatory opinions from accross Europe (and possibly other jurisdictions). You will also interview professionals involved in the assessment of medical devices, such as notified-body assessors, regulators, and Expert Panel members. Based on these findings, you will develop realistic case scenarios that present different types and levels of uncertainty. These scenarios will be discussed with patients, clinicians, manufacturers, regulators, notified bodies, and health technology assessment bodies to explore where their views overlap and where they differ.

The final part of the project focuses on how regulation can deal with uncertainty in a responsible way. A particular area of interest is the use of regulatory sandboxes: controlled environments in which regulators, developers, and other stakeholders can explore regulatory questions and test approaches to evidence generation while a technology is still developing. You will also consider related approaches, including conditional market access and post-market evidence generation. The aim is to develop practical recommendations that support access to promising medical technologies while continuing to protect patients.

This PhD project is part of the European COMPASS4MD consortium and will involve close collaboration with research institutes, regulators, clinical experts, patient representatives, and other partners across Europe. You will contribute to joint project activities, exchange findings with partners from different countries and disciplines, and help organise interviews and stakeholder workshops. The position therefore suits someone who communicates easily, enjoys working with people from different countries and disciplines, and is willing to take an active role in an international consortium. You should be comfortable working independently on your own research while also contributing to shared activities, meetings, workshops, and deliverables with European project partners. Some travel within Europe may be part of the position.

English proficiency is required. Proficiency in Dutch is considered an advantage, but is not a requirement. Experience with medical-device regulation, clinical research, benefit–risk assessment, stakeholder workshops, survey experiments, or anticipatory governance is an advantage. We do not expect candidates to already possess expertise in all these areas; we particularly value the ability and motivation to work across disciplinary boundaries.

Job requirements

• Master’s degree in a relevant field, such as Health Sciences, (Technical) Medicine, Health Policy or Healthcare Management, Public Policy, Innovation Sciences, Management of Technology or Technology Governance, Biomedical Engineering or a related field. As the project combines the analysis of clinical evidence with empirical research into regulatory decision-making, we particularly welcome candidates who can connect biomedical or clinical questions with policy, governance, and stakeholder perspectives.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Good organisational skills.
• Research experience and writing skills demonstrated through a thesis, publications, or previous research projects.
• Excellent command of English is required. Dutch is considered an advantage.
