Overview
The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) seeks exceptional postdoctoral (post-doc) researchers – Associate Research Physicists/Scientists – with demonstrated leadership potential to play a major role in opening new research direction(s) for PPPL. This postdoctoral research opportunity offers early-career science, technology, engineering, computation, and applied mathematics professionals the opportunity to conduct impactful research at a world-leading research institution. The successful candidate will propose in their job application cover letter a succinct research plan of up to 2 pages of content (plus references) spanning two (minimum) to three (maximum) years in duration that encompasses one or more topics supporting the scientific and research diversification goals of PPPL, including but not limited to:
Fusion Science and Technology
- Understanding spherical torus plasma regimes for reduced-cost fusion.
- Advancing optimized stellarators and exploiting 3D-fields to improve tokamaks.
- Developing liquid metal walls to increase energy confinement and mitigate heat fluxes.
- Developing validated whole device models for ITER and next-steps including Pilot Plants exploiting machine learning, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing.
- Developing innovative diagnostics, technologies, and engineering for next-step devices.
- Developing superconducting magnet technologies for reduced-cost fusion devices.
- Optimizing plasma edge composition to improve fusion performance.
Discovery Plasma Science
- Understanding fundamental plasma processes: magnetic reconnection, shocks, instabilities and turbulence, and dynamos.
- Advancing multi-messenger astronomy via simulation tools for highly relativistic plasmas.
- Developing and testing emergent techniques and methods in plasma propulsion.
- Increasing understanding of high-energy density plasma processes including processes relevant to Inertial Fusion Energy.
Applied Materials and Sustainability Sciences
- Developing new scientific discoveries and applications of low temperature plasmas.
- Advancing nanofabrication for microelectronics and quantum information science.
- Understanding the science of electrochemical and plasma-assisted catalysis and synthesis.
- Understanding the microphysics of aerosols mimicking stratospheric conditions.
The successful candidate will work with researchers at PPPL and may also propose to join one or more of the wide range of domestic and international scientific collaborations PPPL scientists participate in. The successful fellow will also lead, publish, present, and disseminate innovative and impactful research results relevant to the scientific and research diversification goals of PPPL. Fellowship awards are subject to the availability of a project mentor, so applicants are encouraged to develop project ideas as early as possible with PPPL research experts.
