11. Postdoctoral Research Assistant
Department of Physics, Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics, Oxford
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Plasma Theory for Fusion Energy. The post is available for a fixed-term duration through March 2024. The start date is flexible but a date as soon as possible after the closing date for applications is preferable.
The Universities of Oxford, Strathclyde, Warwick and York, in collaboration with the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, are nearing the end of of a 5-year, EPSRC-funded programme to understand the fundamentals of turbulence in tokamak plasmas. A main objective of this programme is to identify advanced confinement configurations that will lead to compact fusion reactors. Key elements of the programme are the interaction between turbulence and flows, and the impact of the ratio of thermal pressure to magnetic field pressure (called the plasma beta).
As part of this programme, the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Plasma Theory for Fusion Energy. The successful candidate will develop new theory and/or conduct numerical simulations to study the turbulent transport observed in magnetic confinement fusion plasmas. Examples of the phenomena of interest are: the dependence of microstability and turbulent transport on plasma shaping, the observation of regions of reduced turbulence that are correlated with the presence of strong velocity shear, the recent numerical discovery of bistable turbulence and the transition to high transport states at high plasma beta. Explaining these complex observations will require a combination of analytical theory, computational work and physical intuition.
The post holder will likely have the opportunity to teach if he/she desires.
Applicants should hold, or be close to completion of, a PhD in physics or a related field. Ideally, applicants would have a strong background in Plasma Theory, and previous experience with numerical methods for fluid dynamics and/or kinetic theory will be an advantage. Candidates are expected to demonstrate the ability to manage their own academic research, the ability to contribute ideas for new research projects, and excellent communication skills.
