About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Fusion Energy Modeller and Scenario Developer to join our team at the UK Atomic Energy Authority. As a key member of our team, you will play a pivotal role in exploiting JETTO core transport code and its integrated models, and testing new or upgraded models in JETTO as they become available.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop predictive simulations of scenarios for STEP.
  • Validate predictive capability of integrated models against experimental data and identify regimes and regions where model improvement is required.
  • Understand experimental results relating to transport and confinement, e.g. observed confinement scalings, impurity accumulation, variations in observed plasma performance.
  • Perform core-edge coupled simulations with JINTRAC.

Requirements

  • PhD-level knowledge of tokamak physics or equivalent work experience.
  • Experience and knowledge of physics integrated modelling.

Desirable Skills

  • Experience and knowledge of at least one area of tokamak plasma modelling, one or more of:
    • Core turbulent transport models (quasilinear and/or gyrokinetic/gyrofluid codes).
    • Edge plasma transport or plasma exhaust transport modelling.
    • Heating and current drive, particle sources.
    • MHD / ELM / pedestal modelling.
    • Demonstrated programming skills in Python, C, and Fortran.

What We Offer

We offer a range of benefits, including a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package. We welcome applications from under-represented groups, particularly individuals from black and other ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities, and women.
