Posting Description

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), to carry out fundamental and applied research in support of integrated core and edge MHD instability control for metallic wall tokamaks; work in the Disruptions group and focus on the application and controllability quantification of real-time solutions for avoiding and preventing off-normal events, e.g. tearing and neoclassical tearing modes in metal-wall scenarios; support the creation and validation of machine learning (ML) and hybrid physics + ML models to monitor and control the proximity to stability boundaries, their compliance with open and FAIR principles, besides leading/supporting experiments at DIII-D and international tokamaks; make original research contributions to the PSFC program; produce work for publication; present work at scientific conferences; and mentor graduate and undergraduate students.
