Germantown, Maryland, United States Department of Energy, Office of Science Full time

Overview

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) headquarters is looking for a dynamic, innovative, seasoned executive to lead the new Enabling Science and Partnerships (ESP) Division in the Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program. Fusion energy can be a real "game changer" in this country as well as in the world's toolkit for addressing climate change, however, pursuing this goal is one of the most challenging scientific research activities that has ever been undertaken. With the support of FES, a devoted, expert, and innovative scientific and engineering workforce has been responsible for the impressive progress in harnessing fusion energy since the earliest fusion experiments over sixty years ago. As a result, we are on the verge of a new age in fusion science during which researchers will undertake fundamental tests of fusion energy's viability. Establishing a deep scientific understanding of the requirements for harnessing and optimizing this process on earth is critical, and the progress has been dramatic.

The Enabling Science and Partnerships (ESP) Division will play a critical role in achieving fusion. The ESP Division will establish innovative public-private partnership initiatives such as a fusion energy Public-Private Consortium Framework (PPCF) together with input from the private sector to help invest in strategic infrastructure to help accelerate fusion development. This Division supports multidisciplinary, multi‐institutional team research that addresses critical scientific and technology gaps and brings together discovery science, innovation, and translational research.

The ESP Division supports partnerships with the fusion private sector to accelerate viability of fusion energy by combining efforts to resolve common scientific and technological challenges. The Division also supports the development of novel materials, nuclear science capabilities, and enabling technologies that can withstand enormous heat and neutron exposure, breed the fuel, and maintain the fusion plasma—all of which is critical in making fusion a self-sustaining energy source for future fusion devices. The ESP Division supports the development of diagnostics that can measure key performance parameters of the fusion plasma and be capable of withstanding the harsh fusion environment and exploring and expanding the practical applications of plasmas for use in other areas such as plasma processing in microelectronics, nanomaterial synthesis, manufacturing techniques, and plasma medicine.
