Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Inertial Confinement Fusion Research
Join to apply for the Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Inertial Confinement Fusion Research role at Particle Physics Oxford.
The post is available initially for a fixed-term duration until 31 March 2026, with the possibility of extension subject to funding.
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Inertial Confinement Fusion Research within the Atomic and Laser Physics group at the Department of Physics, Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford.
The successful candidate will work on the UK Programme of Laser Inertial Fusion Technology for Energy (UPLiFT), focusing on plasma transport phenomena during Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) implosions, using methods such as Molecular Dynamics and Particle-in-Cell simulations, and supporting experimental investigations.
Responsibilities include developing models, supporting and interpreting experiments at facilities like NIF and Omega, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, and potentially teaching undergraduate and graduate students.
Applicants should hold a PhD in physics or a related field, with experience in computational or experimental plasma physics. The role requires the ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment, with a start date as soon as possible.
Enquiries can be directed to Prof Gianluca Gregori at gianluca.gregori@physics.ox.ac.uk. The deadline for applications is 14 May 2025, midday UK time, including a research statement, CV, and two referees' details.
