Advanced Nuclear Materials

该提案旨在维持和扩大一个国际领先团队的研究影响，该团队致力于研究用于核裂变和聚变反应堆的先进结构材料。这笔资金将使我们能够以灵活的方式支持早期职业博士后研究人员（ECR），根据他们的个人职业轨迹，提供工作保障，导师，获得新技能的机会和CPD培训，并将促进他们发展自己的研究思路。他们的培训和科学产出将有助于联合王国裂变反应堆方案的复兴和联合王国在聚变科学和技术方面的国际领导作用。这将是保持多技能牛津核材料研究团队的完整性，发展其ECR职业生涯，并加强其作为有吸引力的研究环境，吸引和支持新人才的关键因素。该平台赠款还将为团队提供资源，以探索雄心勃勃和新颖的研究途径，支持申请（来自英国和国际来源）的更大规模资金，以提高英国在核研究中的国际地位。

This proposal aims to maintain and expand the research impact of an internationally-leading team working on advanced structural materials for applications in nuclear fission and fusion reactors. The funding will enable us to support early-career postdoctoral researchers (ECRs) in a flexible manner tailored to their individual career trajectories, by providing job security, mentorship, opportunities for new skills acquisition and CPD training, and will facilitate their developing their own research ideas. Their training and scientific outputs will contribute to the resurgence of UK fission reactor programmes and the UK's internationally leading role in fusion science and technology. It will be a key factor in maintaining the integrity of the multi-skilled Oxford nuclear materials research team, and in developing the careers of its ECRs, and in reinforcing its position as an attractive environment for research, attracting and supporting new talent. The Platform Grant will also provide resources for the team to explore ambitious and novel research avenues, underpinning applications (from UK and international sources) for larger-scale funding to enhance the international position of the UK in nuclear research.
