A broad range of research projects are available in tokamak disruption and mitigation, and they target MHD stability and magnetic reconnection, particle and energy transport, atomic physics processes and radiation, runaway electron dynamics, boundary plasma physics, and plasma-material interaction. Although our research is theoretical and computational, close interaction with domestic and international experiments is anticipated. The initial appointment is for two years, with a possible third year extension depending on performance and funding availability.
In addition to applying online, please send a cover letter and CV (including the contact information of three references) to Xianzhu Tang at xtang@lanl.gov.
Candidates may also be nominated for a Director's Fellowship and outstanding candidates may be considered for the prestigious Darleane Christian Hoffman, Richard P. Feynman, J. Robert Oppenheimer, or Frederick Reines Fellowships. Applicants with US citizenship will also be considered for the Metropolis Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computational Physics. For the named fellowship, the research scope can be broadened to include any topic of mutual interest, for example, in inertial confinement fusion, laser-plasma interaction, space and astrophysical plasmas, and computational methods. For general information go to Postdoc Program. What You Will Need PhD in related fields completed within the past five years or soon to be completed. | | | | | | Where You Will Work Located in northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security.
