Princeton, New Jersey, United States InsideHigherEd Full time
Overview

This role is pivotal in spearheading the establishment and execution of the electrical safety initiative, aligned with the Laboratory Environment, Safety, and Health (ES&H) protocols and the requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Energy. The primary aim of this initiative is to mitigate risks to personnel, the public, the environment, and equipment through the identification, assessment, and management of electrical hazards, alongside the training of staff.

As a distinguished U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory managed by Princeton University, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) stands at the forefront of the science and innovation driving the advancement of fusion energy — a sustainable, safe, and nearly inexhaustible energy source. In alignment with future goals and national priorities, PPPL is evolving from a singular focus on fusion energy to a diversified approach encompassing microelectronics, quantum information science, and sustainability science. Every team member has the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to our mission, regardless of their background, interests, or experiences. We are dedicated to fostering equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, recognizing that each individual's unique contributions enhance our scientific objectives.
