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 advance understanding and develop the science and technology of liquid metals to be used as plasma-facing components in fusion reactors. This involves developing, building and testing several different component concepts, with keen attention to the liquid metal safety. This also involves developing and testing systems to purify liquid metal streams of fuel and impurities. The successful candidate may also participate in the liquid metal component testing program in the NSTX-U device at PPPL.
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 l...
