Posting Description

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, Plasma Science and Fusion Center - The Magnetic Confinement Energy Integrated Modeling (MFE-IM) and SPARC Performance and Transport (P&T), to conduct research in core/edge modeling, scenario optimization and experimental interpretation in the SPARC tokamak; lead the efforts of creating a platform to analyze experimental data in SPARC early campaign plasmas and integrate with other research groups; create modeled plasma databases using integrated modeling frameworks (such as TRANSP, TORAX, FUSE, ASTRA, JINTRAC, etc); be part of the implementation and application of scenario optimization techniques that could be applied in between shots and between run days, to include model correction techniques and transfer learning to maximize success probability of SPARC experiments; and interact broadly with research groups at MIT, CFS and the broader fusion community.
