Associate Research Physicist
7 months ago
The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory is seeking to fill an Associate Research Physicist position in the Theory Department. The successful candidate will conduct research on turbulent and neoclassical transport in stellarators. The successful candidate will develop computational tools for the effective evaluation and study of neoclassical and turbulent fluxes of particles and energy in stellarators, and will use these tools to propose strategies to control energy losses and impurity accumulation in stellarators.
The successful candidate will contribute to PPPL’s mission by strengthening our knowledge of neoclassical and turbulent processes in stellarators, and by using this knowledge to develop computational tools to evaluate neoclassical and turbulent transport efficiently and accurately.
A proud U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory managed by Princeton University, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is a longstanding leader in the science and innovation behind the development of fusion energy — a clean, safe, and virtually limitless energy source. With an eye on the future and in response to national priorities, PPPL also has begun a strategic shift from a singular focus on fusion energy to a multi-focus approach that includes microelectronics, quantum information science, and sustainability science. Whether it be through science, engineering, technology or professional services, every team member has an opportunity to make their mark on our world. PPPL aims to attract and support people with a rich variety of backgrounds, interests, experiences, and cultural viewpoints. We are committed to equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility and believe that each member of our team contributes to our scientific mission in their own unique way. Come join us
