This role requires employees to complete an online Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS), including The Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) checks for criminal convictions and possibly a search of open source data.

The Role

As a Senior Exhaust Physicist, you will use primarily 3D physical models to describe the turbulent behaviour of plasma at the periphery of tokamak devices. Key duties include modelling of turbulent transport in the scrape-off layer (SOL) and validating simulation results and theoretical findings against MAST-U experimental measurements, as well as other machines and predictive modelling of future machines.

Your career development as a scientist will be strongly supported, including working towards chartership with the Institute of Physics.

Key Responsibilities:

Contributing to and guiding the development of new SOL predictive and interpretative codes.
Providing interpretative modelling of MAST-U, and other tokamak devices, and predictive modelling of future devices, with 3D turbulence codes using Hermes-3
Contributing to and guiding the development of models describing physical processes in the SOL.
Supporting experimentalists by providing theoretical insight when requested.
Disseminating results and reporting findings at internal meetings, international meetings, conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.
Building strong relations with external laboratories and universities in support of the above accountabilities.
Supervising and mentoring placement and PhD students associated with exhaust physics.
