About the role

Type One Energy is seeking a Fusion Researcher for the development of key technologies of a net-energy-producing stellarator fusion power plant. The job focuses on developing computational tools and the technologies for sensor- and control systems to characterize and control the plasma edge region and the surrounding components in a high-magnetic-field stellarator.

Responsibilities

· Develop and refine advanced computational tools and models to simulate the behavior of plasma edge regions in high-magnetic-field stellarators.

· Implement algorithms and codes to accurately model plasma dynamics, heat and particle transport, and plasma-material interactions.

· Design and develop sensor systems to measure key plasma parameters in the edge region of a high-magnetic-field stellarator.

· Implement real-time monitoring and control systems to ensure plasma stability, control plasma density, and manage heat loads on plasma-facing components.

· Analyze data to characterize the behavior of the plasma edge region in a high-magnetic-field stellarator.

· Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, and researchers to integrate your research findings into the overall design and development of a stellarator fusion power plant.

Required Qualifications and Experience

· Minimum a PhD in plasma physics or a closely related field.

· Minimum 3 years of relevant work experience post PhD.

· Experience with developing and using diagnostic techniques relevant to plasma characterization i.e. electrostatic/electromagnetic probes and light emission spectroscopy

· Experience with fusion energy research, and possess relevant technological and engineering skills.

· Experience with simulation packages such as COMSOL and modern programming languages such as Python.

· Relevant work experience in feature engineering or topological optimization and a proven track record of innovation in a technological field

· Ability to communicate complex technological material to a broader audience, as evidenced through lecturing or public outreach.

· Experience with Machine Learning is an asset

Benefits

· Four weeks of paid vacation per year.

· Medical

· Dental

· Vision

· Life and accidental death insurance.

· Long term disability cover
