The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) is one of the world's leading centers for fusion research. With around 1100 dedicated employees in Garching near Munich and Greifswald, we are committed to exploring the fundamental principles of fusion power plants. These power plants generate energy without climate-damaging emissions, are safe, sustainable and nearly limitless – just like the sun. Fusion power plants have the potential to play an important role in supplying energy to future generations. At the IPP site in Garching we are conducting research on the large-scale experiment ASDEX Upgrade. This is a fusion plant of the world-famous tokamak type.
We are currently filling two Postdoc positions at IPP, attached to the departments E2 (Garching) and E5 (Greifswald). IPP is investigating the design of a new stellarator device to serve as a next-step stellarator bridging the gap between W7-X and a reactor. This device should have an exhaust-mission, will feature an island divertor and aims to have sufficient island control and flexibility to provide for robust physics studies required to develop a detailed understanding. Two postdoc positions are envisaged to optimize the magnetic equilibrium at the plasma edge and investigate the heat transport and plasma physics for different divertor locations and geometries. One position is planned to be in Greifswald, one in Garching, with frequent mutual visits and intensive cooperation, also with the respective experts on both sites.
The contract is limited to 2 years. We value a fair, diverse and inclusive work environment. We welcome applications from all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or their social, ethical or religious background. We aim to increase the representation of women in areas where they are underrepresented and encourage them to apply. We also support the hiring of people with disabilities and invite them to apply.
