Senior Scientist (Fusion Plasmas), SRTT-FEAT

Job

description : We are looking for

candidates to join the fusion-energy effort in the newly formed

Future Energy Acceleration & Translation (FEAT) Programme,

• STAR. FEAT's plasma physics team focuses primarily on plasma

diagnostics, microwave and radiofrequency (RF) heating and current

drive (H&CD), and exhaust, with an emphasis on solving the

challenges faced by future fusion energy systems. The new hires

will be expected to contribute to, and potentially lead, research

in magnetic confinement fusion. This includes analytical,

computational, and experimental approaches, with the particular

emphasis dependent on one's interests and skill set. While the new

hires will begin by working on existing projects, participation in

grant calls as a principal investigator will be highly

encouraged.

We are looking for suitable

candidates in : Microwave plasma

diagnostics, including experimental, computational, and AI

approaches.

Theory and simulation of microwave

and RF H&CD.

Theory and simulation of

plasma-material interactions, including edge turbulence and

transport, sheaths, and sheath-edge

coupling.

The key scope of work

includes :

Understanding the physics

of fusion plasmas, exhaust, plasma diagnostics, and / or RF

H&CD.

Publishing peer-reviewed

papers.

Supporting local and international

collaborators in fusion research.

Writing

grants and developing the direction of fusion research in

FEAT.

Supervising students and interns

(optional).

Job

Requirements : PhD in

Physics, Plasma Physics, or equivalent, with a background in

magnetic confinement fusion, such as in plasma physics and / or

engineering with at least 5 years of relevant

experience.

Deep knowledge in at least one of :

Microwave plasma diagnostics (including

hardware experience). Candidates with an experimental inclination

will have the opportunity to travel to international collaborators'

experiments for extended periods.

Theoretical

plasma physics (such as plasma waves, turbulent

transport).

Computational plasma physics (such

as full-wave, beam tracing, fluid dynamics,

gyrokinetics).

Proficiency in programming languages such as, but not

limited to, Python, C / C++, and Julia.

Good

interpersonal and communication skills, ability to adapt and work

effectively as a member of a team.

Resourcefulness and self-motivation with a high degree of

professional

integrity.

The above

eligibility criteria are not exhaustive. A

additional selection criteria based on its prevailing recruitment

policies. These policies may be amended from time to time without

notice. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be

notified.
