Department:\u00a0 PPPL Plasma Science,\u00a0\u00a0Category:\u00a0 Research and Laboratory,\u00a0 Full-Time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Overview<\/h4>\n
\n
\n
\n

The successful candidate will perform the experimental campaigns with both the liquid metal Magnetorotational Instability (MRI) experiment and the Hydrodynamic Turbulence Experiment (HTX) by continuously improving device and diagnostics capabilities to study physics of rotating fluids including: MRI; geophysical, solar, and astrophysical flows; and centrifuge applications.<\/p>\n

The Princeton Department of Astrophysical Sciences and Plasma Physics Laboratory seek to fill an Associate Research Physicist position. Under supervision by senior personnel,\u00a0the researcher will conduct campaigns with the liquid-metal MagnetoRotational Instability experiment to investigate: mechanisms for fast angular momentum transport; aspects of geophysical, solar, and astrophysical flows; and the use of the apparatus as a high-efficiency centrifuge.\u00a0 Candidates must have an extensive background in experimental physics, preferably fluid dynamics, liquid-metal MHD, or plasma physics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Responsibilities<\/h4>\n
\n
\n
\n

Major responsibilities include: handling liquid gallium in the laboratory; designing and implementing diagnostics; performing experiments; analyzing data; and interpreting, presenting and publishing results jointly with other researchers. Coordination with other technical, engineering and administrative personnel will also be essential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Qualifications<\/h4>\n
\n
\n
\n

Applicant should have a Ph.D. in plasma physics or related physics, with preference given to applicants with experience in fluid dynamics, liquid metal MHD and its diagnostics, data acquisition, data processing, and applications to astrophysics and geophysics.\u00a0\u00a0Appointments will begin as soon as feasible.<\/p>\n

Interested persons should submit a curriculum vita, bibliography, a statement of research interests, and provide contact information for three references.\u00a0 \u00a0 For further inquiries, contact\u00a0hji@pppl.gov<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0egilson@pppl.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n
