The tokamak department of the Institute of Plasma Physics in Prague (IPP) is looking for

postdoc candidates in either, tokamak edge and scrape-off layer modelling or integrated modeling in support of COMPASS-experiments,

for its theory and modelling group. The Tokamak department of the Institute of Plasma Physics is a major thermonuclear research laboratory in the Czech republic, located in Prague, which operates the compact COMPASS tokamak. The theory and modelling group of this department is focused on supporting COMPASS experiments by simulations as well as on contributing to international fusion research. Primary topics include integrated / transport modelling, edge and scrape-off layer physics, MHD or magnetic perturbations.

Job description

The successful candidates will be responsible for performing research in one of the areas, closely linked to experiments on COMPASS and other tokamaks. Strong international collaboration is expected, primarily within EUROfusion laboratories.

Requirements

The requirements for this postion are:

  • Doctoral degree in physics, computational physics or similar.
  • Experience in magnetic thermonuclear fusion research, preferentially in theory and modelling.
  • Strong computer science skills: numerical methods, programming (Python and Fortran preferred), data analysis.
  • Proficient English spoken and written.
