A postdoctoral researcher is a person who has completed their doctoral degree and is conducting research in their field of study - Empire, United States - Spectrum Solutions

Description

The Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald is a renowned research facility that specializes in magnetic fusion science, with a particular focus on the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator. Our team of international researchers is dedicated to advancing sustainable energy solutions through controlled fusion reactions. One of our main objectives is to ensure the safe operation of high-power fusion devices, which requires precise management of thermal loads on plasma-facing components.

To achieve this, we utilize thirteen infrared systems to monitor the surface temperatures of ten divertor units at Wendelstein 7-X. This allows us to maintain steady-state operations without any interruptions from the plasma. However, we are constantly seeking ways to improve safety and operational efficiency, which is why we are now looking for a Postdoc (m/f/div) to join our team in the division of Stellarator Heating, Plasma Diagnostics, and Optimization (E3).

In this role, you will be responsible for developing a generative AI framework that can predict power load patterns on the plasma-facing components of Wendelstein 7-X. This innovative solution will enable us to implement more efficient and safer plasma control strategies by utilizing various data sources, including diagnostic data, infrared images, and planned magnetic configurations. This is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of fusion research.
