International coordinator Jobs in Sundhagen

The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics as an institute of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science (registered association) is one of the leading centres for fusion research and is engaged in developing the physical foundations for a future fusion power plant. The institute is affiliated with the European Fusion Programme.

The Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald offers within the Stellarator Heating and Optimization division (E3) a position for a

Postdoc (m / f / d) for pellet injector

Job Code : gw25 / 016

Full time

Limited

to operate the pellet injector and improve its performance, and to develop and conduct experimental pellet programs on W7‑X.

The Institute is a world-renowned laboratory conducting pioneering research in the field of magnetic fusion science, being the home of the Wendelstein 7‑X stellarator. Our international research team focuses on plasma physics and engineering to advance sustainable energy solutions through controlled fusion reactions. One of the research objectives is the safe operation of high-power fusion devices. A reactor relevant process is the fueling of the burning plasma with hydrogen isotopes in the form of frozen hydrogen ice pellets. At W7‑X, a pellet injector is available to investigate the pellet injection and subsequent particle distribution within a fusion relevant plasma. The observation of pellet ablation and plasma transport with appropriate diagnostic means, as well as the understanding of the physical processes during the material distribution are essential for the development of a fusion reactor.

• Operate and improve the pellet injector on W7‑X
• Write / ​maintain safety and quality relevant documentations + specifications
• Conduct a scientific project within the framework of a large experiment
• Develop and realize particle fueling and transport experiments
• Evaluate the experimental data and publish them
• Supervision of internship / ​bachelor / ​master students
• PhD in the field of experimental physics
• Knowledge / ​skills in vacuum and cryogenic physics
• Fundamental knowledge in plasma physics
• Very good command of written and spoken English
• Independent-level German knowledge (min. level B2)
