What You Will Do
The P-24 Plasma Physics group in Physics Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to conduct experimental research in the development of a novel magneto-inertial fusion architecture, at the Plasma Liner Experiment (PLX) facility. The candidate will join a small multi-institutional team pursuing an exciting and novel path towards the realization of fusion energy, and will have significant opportunities for impact and contribution to the success of the effort. As a group, P-24 supports a diverse portfolio of cutting-edge research in high- energy-density (HED) plasma physics and inertial-confinement fusion (ICF) in support of national security.
In the first year, the job may require extended periods of travel to the Northern Virginia / Washington D.C. area to support experimental development.
What You Need
Minimum Job Requirements:
Demonstrated ability to carry out independent and collaborative research in experimental plasma physics, as evidenced by at least one first-author paper published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Sound academic training in plasma physics.
Significant hands-on research experience in a laboratory environment.
Demonstrated ability to communicate both technically and interpersonally both orally and in writing.
Desired skills:
Experience with design, construction and/or operation of plasma diagnostics.
Experience with maintaining/operating data-acquisition systems.
Experience with mechanical construction of laboratory plasma devices, hardware,electrical/electronic circuits, etc.
Experience with data analysis using software tools such as Matlab or Python/SciPy.
Familiarity withapproaches and challenges of controlled fusion, especially for fusion energy applications.
Education: A Ph.D. in experimental plasma physics or very closely related discipline, earned within the last five years.
Notes to Applicants:
In addition to applying online, interested candidates should send their inquiries, CV including alistof peer-reviewed publications and invited talks, and the names and contact information of three references to Samuel Langendorf ( samuel.langendorf@lanl.gov )
