The MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) is a facility at the forefront of plasma physics and fusion energy research. It is located on the main MIT campus in Cambridge MA and comprises a team of over 200 top-tier students, scientists, and engineering staff jointly pursuing fusion research at a national laboratory-like scale. The PSFC is seeking an individual who wants to work in a team-oriented environment to help in the overall effort to achieve fusion energy on an accelerated timescale. The primary responsibility of this role is to oversee the management of a proton cyclotron within the MIT PSFC’s Schmidt Laboratory for Materials in Nuclear Technologies (LMNT) known as LMNT, that supports advancement of fusion energy.
The position will be 100% off-campus at General Atomics (GA) in San Diego, CA, working in close coordination with GA researchers and MIT collaborators, including Columbia University, UCSD, and UCI.
Seeking a candidate to carry out fundamental and applied research on integrated core and edge MHD instability control for metallic wall tokamaks, focusing on real-time solutions, machine learning models, experiments, and student mentoring.
