Postdoctoral position in theoretical fusion plasma physics
- Göteborg
- Tillfälligt
- Heltid
The Division of Subatomic, High-Energy and Plasma Physics performs research on theoretical and experimental subatomic physics, mathematical and high-energy physics, plasma and fusion physics, as well as nuclear physics. This diversity of research topics allows us to connect fundamental questions about the particles and forces governing our Universe to energy-related research. The methods of our investigations are also diverse and complementary, and range from theory and computer simulations to experiments in subatomic physics.The Plasma Theory group within the Division conducts research on acceleration and radiation generation in magnetic fusion, laser-produced and astrophysical plasmas. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join the “Runaway electrons in fusion plasmas” project funded by the Swedish Research Council.Main responsibilitiesYour major responsibility as postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group. The position may also include teaching on undergraduate and master's levels as well as supervising master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector. The postdoctoral project will be focused on identifying methods to control energetic electron dynamics in tokamaks, including the effect of magnetic perturbations, material injection and instabilities.As a postdoctoral scientist, you are employed by Chalmers and will receive a salary according to current salary agreements.Qualifications
- PhD in physics is required (degree obtained before the employment begins)
- To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline. *
