Knowledge, Skills & Abilities Working in a team environment, good oral and written communication skills are essential, as is the ability to work to schedule—a proven track record for producing high-quality work—and the ability to communicate data through memoranda and reports. Possess a strong working knowledge of reactor core material performance and life management issues for Candu and/or Light Water Reactor technologies. Knowledge of reactor material and testing of irradiated materials would be an asset. Knowledge of mechanical testing, corrosion, fatigue, and stress corrosion cracking or welding would be an asset. Knowledge of failure analysis, fractography, weld microstructures, ferrous metallurgy, and nickel alloys would be beneficial. Strong problem-solving skills are essential. Good organizational and work planning skills are essential. Ability to work in a team environment, maintains a clear focus on team goals, and establishes good rapport with groups and individuals of many diverse professions. Excellent written and oral communication skills. The incumbent will be required to work on various research projects involving work in areas of material science, where limited technical information is currently available. An ideal candidate will have strong problem-solving skills to succeed in these first-of-a-kind research projects.
