Job Description

This role will develop plasma physics scenarios for SPARC and ARC based on comprehensive integrated simulation and modeling of the core and edge plasma. The scientist will coordinate with a multi-institutional team to develop and improve an integrated modeling toolset, and employ that toolset for experimental planning and analysis on SPARC, contributing to physics design and optimization of ARC.

Responsibilities

• Refine, optimize, and validate integrated modeling toolset
• Incorporate state-of-the-art physics capabilities
• Employ modeling tools to plan and execute plasma pulses
• Identify and improve operational scenarios
• Work with physics, diagnostics, operations, and software teams
• Contribute to physics design and optimization of ARC

Requirements

• PhD in plasma physics or related discipline
• 2+ years post-PhD experience in magnetic fusion
• Experience with fusion plasma simulation and modeling software
• Experience in planning, executing, or analyzing fusion experiments
• Expertise in magnetic fusion experiment and simulation
• Strong teamwork and communication skills
