DIII-D is the largest U.S. magnetic fusion research facility, with a mission to establish the scientific basis for the optimization of fusion energy in ITER and beyond.

The DIII-D National Fusion Facility currently has exciting postdoctoral research opportunities available for outstanding candidates. The DIII-D program is a broad collaboration of over 500 scientific authors from over 90 leading universities, national laboratories, and private companies. DIII-D is a state-of-the-art facility whose leading diagnostics and high degree of flexibility enable advances in the physics basis that are needed to realize fusion energy.

Multiple postdoctoral positions spanning a wide array of topics are available. The research opportunities presented by these opportunities include but are not limited to:

• Edge Modeling–Model scrape off layer transport with SOLPS–ITER, investigate impurity transport through the scrape off layer and into the core
• Transport and Stability–Develop high performance scenarios with the potential to be operated in steady state as part of the collaboration between DIII-D and EAST, model stability limits, optimize of core confinement

These postdoctoral positions are administered by Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) and advised by General Atomics scientists.
