Aalto University, located within the metropolitan area of Helsinki, Finland, offers a PhD and Postdoc-position on the subject of plasma physics in magnetic fusion devices.

The Fusion and Plasma Physics Group focuses on experimental and computational plasma physics in magnetically confined fusion experiments. Within this job posting the research project aims to improve understanding of the physics of the edge plasma in Tokamaks by interpretative analysis of measurements in present devices and predictions from state-of-the-art numerical simulations. The primary physics goal of these studies is elucidating the physics of the onset of divertor plasma detachment in magnetically confined fusion devices.

Applications are open until 11 September this year.
