Fusion energy is one of very few long-term solutions for a sustainable base load electricity production with negligible environmental impact and minimal security and safety concern. We are now looking for new PhD students to join our research team to develop the understanding of fusion plasmas under reactor conditions - a critical part in the design and exploitation of the next step fusion experiments.Information about the division and the departmentThe Plasma Physics and Fusion Energy (PPFE) group at the department of Space, Earth and Environment/Astronomy and Plasma physics division has its main activities in modeling, simulation and analysis of fusion plasmas. A major part of the research group is to create a predictive capability for fusion energy grade plasmas and the validation of critical physics models on current day experiments. The group has extensive collaborations with major fusion devices and are taking part in the developments for the ITER burning plasma experiment and the design of the next step demonstration reactor, DEMO. The activities are fully integrated with the European (EUROfusion) activities and the research group also engages in the development of open data access for fusion experiments and modeling data.Major responsibilitiesAs a PhD student at the Plasma Physics and Fusion Energy research group, you will participate in the worldwide effort towards the realisation of fusion energy. You will contribute to the development of the validated modeling components needed for power plant design as well as the integration of these tool in state-of-the-art modeling suites, part of the research work is in direct collaboration with experiments. The focus is on integrated models for the whole plasma: from the hot core to the edge and the connection to material walls. In general, a combination of theory, numerical modeling and the application of machine learning for reduced physics and surrogate models are used. The research will be performed in an international environment connecting with the major fusion research experiments worldwide.Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.Read more about doctoral studies at Chalmers here.Qualifications- A master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in physics (applied physics, engineering physics) or computational science or related fields.- Sound verbal and written communication skills in English.Theoretical and/or practical experience of plasma physics, as well as programming skills are considered merits.If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses.Contract termsFull-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.We offerChalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg. Read more about working at Chalmers and our benefits for employees.Chalmers aims to actively improve our gender balance.
