We are looking for a strongly motivated postdoc for our group in fusion plasma modelling to study runaway electrons. The project concerns investigations of how fast ions influence the transport of runaway electrons during tokamak disruptions.
In the first part of the project a kinetic equation for ions be derived and implemented in the world-leading code DREAM, the development of which is coordinate from KTH. A number of scenarios in both existing and future fusion experiments should then be simulated and the motion of the ions must be determined. The results of the simulations are then transferred to gyro-kinetic and MHD codes for calculating how the ions affect the magnetic field, and this is finally used to determine how the ions influence relativistic electrons in the plasma.
Beyond the above-mentioned project you are also expected to participate in supervision of BSc/MSc students and PhD students at the department, as well as collaborate with external researcher who would like to use the DREAM code. A certain amount of time will also be dedicated to modelling of experiments within EUROfusion, as well as collaboration with colleagues at the experimental facilities.
