Associate Research Physicist-Strategic Science Initiative(Theory)

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) seeks an Associate Research Physicist to join the Equilibrium, Transport, and Confinement Theory group in the PPPL Theory Department. The successful candidate will participate in the development and application of world-leading magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) models to important challenges in magnetic fusion energy, especially regarding disruptions or other large-scale instabilities. This high-impact research will be conducted as part of a large multi-institutional effort to address and mitigate the risks of abrupt confinement loss in magnetic fusion power plants. A U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory managed by Princeton University, PPPL is tackling the world’s toughest science and technology challenges using plasma, the fourth...
