Lehigh University (LU), in collaboration with the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), is seeking to fill a Post-Doctoral Research Associate position in the area of High-performance Scenario Physics and Controls at the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U). In order to answer key physics questions arising from the Spherical Tokamak concept, and to eventually provide a compact design path for future fusion power reactors, the NSTX-U program at PPPL is interested in developing high-confinement, low-disruptivity, advanced scenarios characterized by large bootstrap fractions and high βN values leading to steady-state, high-performance operation with enhanced magnetohydrodynamic stability. The successful candidate will work within a team to develop these adva
