Overview


Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has an open position for a research staff scientist onsite at PPPL. The candidate will join a dynamic team of scientists with diverse expertise working to use modeling tools and to propose and lead experiments in Boundary Physics, with an emphasis to advance the understanding of how lithium migrates and accumulates in different parts of a vacuum vessel. The tasks will focus on lithiumization of NSTX-U walls. The candidate will also be trained for, and participate in, physics operation of the NSTX-U device.
A U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory managed by Princeton University, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is tackling the world’s toughest science and technology challenges using plasma, the fourth state of matter. With more than 70 years of history, PPPL is a leader in the science and engineering behind the development of fusion energy, a potentially limitless energy source. PPPL is also using its ...
