Job Description
Overview
The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory seeks outstanding candidates for postdoctoral position in the area of computational stellarator physics. The successful candidate will play a leading role in developing a state-of-the-art, fully three-dimensional version of the fluid turbulence code SOLEDGE3X, as part of PPPL’s international collaboration with CEA, France. The final goal will be modeling self consistently plasma and impurity transport in the edge of a magnetic fusion device, tokamaks and stellarators alike. The candidate will also perform numerical simulations with both the existing and improved versions of the SOLEDGE3X code, coupled with the Dust Injector Simulator (DIS) code, of powder injection experiments to be performed both in the WEST tokamak and the W7-X stellarator, benchmarking the simulation results against experimental measurements, providing interpretation the observed phenomena and guiding the planning of additional experiments.
