The High Energy Density Physics Division at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to support research in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and inertial fusion energy (IFE). Candidate will regularly travel to facilities in Albuquerque, NM, and the Bay Area, CA.
The Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to lead the development of a rigorous verification and validation (V&V) framework for FESTIM, an open-source simulation tool for modelling hydrogen isotope transport in materials. The role is central to enhancing the scientific reliability and benchmarking capacity of FESTIM in support of fusion fuel cycle modelling and broader hydrogen technologies. The postdoc will contribute to establishing FESTIM as a trusted, community-driven tool by designing multiphysics validation campaigns and cross-code comparison studies.
