The Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics (APAM) at Columbia University in the City of New York invites applications for Associate Research Scientist positions in the area of magnetically confined plasma research. 

The successful candidate will advance research in magnetically confined plasmas and support the broader goals of the Columbia Fusion Research Center. In the tokamak area, the candidate may conduct research on experimental tokamak facilities in the public sector. Examples include the DIII-D tokamak located at General Atomics or the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade located at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, or tokamaks located abroad. In the stellarator area, the candidate may conduct research in coil optimization, energetic particle physics, and other related activities. Activities may also be conducted in support of industrially sponsored research contracts originating from a wide array of sponsors, including concepts beyond tokamaks and stellarators. The successful candidate

Join us in the Centre of Industrial Mechanics (CIM) and help us design, build, and operate large structures where nonlinearities due to large deformations or translations in prismatic joints challenge known reduced order modelling techniques. In this 2-year Postdoc position, you will work with colleagues of our Applied Mechanics team on dynamic models, simulations, and experimental validation of large structures. Our goal is a validated digital-twin of a prototype robot to remotely handle the breeding blankets of DEMO (the first grid connected fusion reactor planned for the second half of this century) that SDU is designing, building, and testing for EUROFusion. During this 2-year contract, we will apply for additional funding to hopefully extend this important long-term work for a greener future.

Your Role

Develop and implement extensions of conventional reduced order modelling techniques for flexible bodies in a large multi-body structure.  Design
