3 days ago
Pacific Fusion is a cutting-edge organization founded in 2023 with the ambitious mission to harness clean, affordable, and abundant energy. Our team is rapidly developing a pulsed magnetic fusion system, aiming to achieve net facility gain through innovative research and development.
We have secured over $900M in funding, enabling us to assemble a diverse and exceptional team of scientists, engineers, and operators from various sectors. Our goal is to provide clean power solutions while addressing climate change and meeting global energy demands.
Job OverviewWe are seeking an exceptional research intern to join our machine learning team and contribute to accelerating critical computational capabilities. As a research intern, you will collaborate with computational physicists, target designers, and experimental physicists to develop novel machine learning systems that enhance multi-physics simulators.
ResponsibilitiesYour primary responsibility will be to conduct research on novel ML methods for accelerating expensive CFD-like simulations used for fusion target design. Key tasks include:
- Reading and analyzing relevant ML and physics literature
- Designing, implementing, and training novel ML architectures
- Producing internal and external reports on your work, including whitepapers and publications in top-tier research venues
Strong candidates will possess the following core competencies:
- ML and physics expertise: ability to reason across both domains
- Effective communication: working with diverse subject matter experts across computational, theoretical, and experimental plasma physics
- Agency: given the freedom to push directions that have the potential to provide significant internal and external impact
To be considered, you must be currently pursuing a PhD in Machine Learning, computational physics, plasma physics, or related fields. Additionally, you should have hands-on experience with deep learning algorithms, techniques, and frameworks like PyTorch and JAX. Proficiency in Python, scientific computing (numpy, scipy, matplotlib), and software development is also essential.
A proven track record of publications at ML venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, TMLR, and/or top-tier physics journals is highly desirable.
This internship offers a competitive salary range of **$90,000 - $120,000 per year**, depending on experience, skills, and location. Our total compensation package includes equity and benefits.
