The salary for this role is £40,609 inclusive of Specialist Allowance , and onsite working is expected for 4 days a week.
Job Description
This role can be based at can any of the following sites: Culham, Oxfordshireand 12 consecutive weeks onsite at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
This role requires
employees tocomplete an online Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) ,including The Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) checks for criminal convictions and be eligible to obtain a Singaporean Training Employment Pass.
The Role
The Fusion Opportunities in Skills, Training, Education and Research (FOSTER) programme is an ambitious new national fusion skills programme delivered by UKAEA on behalf of the UK fusion sector. FOSTERs mission is to train over 2200 people in the next 5 years, ready to take roles within the fusion industry.
In order to deepen the talent pool available to the fusion industry, the FOSTER International Fellowships Scheme aims to create research opportunities at the post-doctoral level, through partnerships between UK and international organisations, to enable post-doctoral candidates to develop their research skills (within a UK and international organisation) and support a pathway into either an industrial R&D role or an academic career with the potential to teach new generations of students.
This 2-year fellowship position will enable you to self-direct your own research within one of the themes described below, to be selected according to your preference and specialism. Furthermore, you will be partnered with an international fellow employed by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore who will be working in a complementary area and will be able to share their experience with you. As part of this fellowship, you will undertake c.12 consecutive weeks of research at NTUs facilities in Singapore, as well as hosting your partnered fellow in the UK. This opportunity will allow you to immerse yourself in Singaporean culture and build an international network of researchers.
Understanding plasma particle and energy confinement is essential for reliably designing efficient future fusion power plants. The themes of the fellowship address turbulent transport in plant-relevant conditions and are as follows:
- The first theme is associated with electromagnetic turbulence in the core plasma, as this is expected to play a role in high beta conditions, which are important to maximise the plasma fusion efficiency and that are typical of spherical tokamak configurations. - The second theme is related to the effect of geometry on plasma confinement and addresses the question of how turbulence is modified by different aspect ratios. - The third theme focuses on the development of theoretical and numerical models to better describe the turbulent transport outside the separatrix, to be able to determine the wall and divertor loads more rapidly and accurately. - Understanding impurity transport, as an isolated theme or within the other ones, is essential to ensure performance and a good core/edge and confinement/exhaust balance.
Additional Responsibilities:
- Identify, plan, design, develop, and undertake scientific research and experimental activities within the assigned area of scientific interest. - Develop and maintain a research plan, with review input from an assigned UKAEA supervisor and partnered international fellow, and conduct all practical work-based activities in a controlled manner in accordance with the plan set out. - Prepare scientific reports/data and documentation and present research findings through appropriate meetings and forums. - Carry out visits to the international partner location in support of the research being carried out, seek to learn about fusion presence in the international location and build a network of research contacts.
Qualifications
Essential Requirements:
- Post-graduate degree (PhD) or equivalent level in a relevant STEM subject with demonstratable scientific experience. - Practical experience of designing and carrying out experimental research projects. - Excellent verbal and written communication skills - able to articulate complex technical information to both specialist and non-specialist audiences as well as writing concise, impactful scientific reports/papers. - Able to obtain a Singaporean training employment pass
