Computational physicist
Your role as Computational Physicist
We are seeking a new member to join our Computational Physics group and strengthen our team. You will be working in a small, closely-knit team. We are currently focused on simulations, mainly so-called particle-in-cell simulations, primarily using an open software code called WarpX, along with some other early in-house codes such as a PDE solver for Magneto Hydrodynamics (MHD) equilibria. We are also looking to extend our methods to include other simulation methods such as the so-called Fokker-Planck, gyrokinetics, and any other approaches necessary to achieve our goals.
You are a team player who is self-driven, hands-on, and, most importantly, humble. You should be curious to learn and happy to both share your knowledge and be open about what you don't know. You should enjoy a dynamic working environment within a fast-growing organization entering the global arena.
Responsibilities
Your initial responsibilities would include (but not limited to) the following:
Perform and analyze simulations
Develop new analytical tools to understand plasma behavior in the Novatron
Engage in plasma physics discussions and contribute to theoretical advancements
Participate in writing scientific paper
Design and implement new features for simulating plasmas
At Novatron Fusion Group, we encourage each other to grow and develop, which provides great opportunities to shape your role and responsibilities at the company.
Knowledge, skills and experience
We believe you have the following qualifications:
Expertise in plasma physics or another branch of physics
Experience in simulation of physics, for example, CFD, Monte Carlo particle transport, or RF wave simulations
Experience in numerical methods
Proficient programmer
It's beneficial if you also have:
Strong data analysis skills (statistical methods)
Proficiency with data analysis tools and data formats, such as pandas, NumPy, HDF5, HSDS
Experience with distributed computing/HPC, for example slurm, mpi, dask, docker, singularity, CUDA
Interest in DevOps
PhD in physics or similar working experience with physics.
Proven track record of research and publications in physics
Information about the positioN
Location: Stockholm, flexible hybrid office but with most of the time on site, divided between office and lab sites
Starting as soon as possible
Permanent, full-time position
Please note that candidates considered for employment with NFG may be subject to a mandatory background check process.
