Senior Fusion Physicist: Edge and Divertors
2 days ago
We are seeking an experienced Fusion Physicist to join our team at Tokamak Energy, a leading global commercial fusion energy company based near Oxford, UK.
Job DescriptionThis is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the analysis of ST40 edge and divertor plasmas, integrated scenario modelling of ST40 and next step devices, and the development of the physics basis for spherical tokamaks.
The successful candidate will work individually and as part of a team towards deliverables that contribute to operations, projects, and product development in alignment with company objectives and strategy.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and validate reduced models and computational tools for the edge plasma of spherical tokamaks.
- Develop core-edge integrated modelling tools and/or carry out modelling related to the design of plasma operating scenarios for ST40 and future devices.
- Work with a team of physicists and engineers to experimentally characterize the SOL plasma of our record-breaking ST40 tokamak.
- Collaborate with internal and external collaborators on cutting-edge research projects.
- Train, mentor, and upskill colleagues in plasma physics and relevant technologies.
To be considered for this role, you will need:
- A PhD in Plasma Physics or a closely related field.
- Familiarity with relevant edge plasma modelling codes (e.g. EDGE2D, Hermes-3, SOLPS-ITER, XGC, EPED, ELITE, etc.).
- Proficiency in modern programming languages (C++ or Python preferred).
- Extensive knowledge of the physics of tokamak edge plasmas.
- Experience working in a research environment or developing novel technologies.
We offer a competitive salary package, including:
- An estimated annual salary of £80,000 - £120,000, depending on experience.
- A comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, pension scheme, and bonus scheme.
- Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.
- The chance to work with a world-leading team on cutting-edge fusion energy projects.
Tokamak Energy is a dynamic and innovative company striving to provide a solution to one of humanity's greatest challenges: clean and sustainable energy for all.
We combine world-leading scientific, engineering, industrial, and commercial capabilities to drive innovation and progress in the field of fusion energy.
