What are the responsibilities and job description for the Multiphysics Modeling and Simulation of Electromagnetic Systems Postdoctoral Researcher position at INL?
Description
Idaho National Laboratory is hiring a highly qualified Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Materials Performance and Modeling Group within the Materials Science and Manufacturing Department reporting to the project investigator. Our team works a 9x80 schedule located out of our Idaho Falls facility with every other Friday off.
You will conduct advanced modeling and simulation of fusion energy systems and microwave processing through additive manufacturing. You will develop open-source software for multiphysics simulations involving radiofrequency (RF) and microwave-driven systems and performing verification and validation (V&V) activities through methods such as the method of manufactured solutions, code-to-code benchmarking, and comparisons to experimental results.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge research in fusion energy systems and contribute to innovative advancements in the field.
Responsibilities Include :
- You will further develop the electromagnetic physics module within INL's open-source Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) framework to study power deposition profiles in low-pressure microwave-driven plasmas and create fully integrated multiphysics simulations for superconducting magnet design.
- Enhance the multiphysics capabilities of MOOSE to enable whole-device modeling of fusion systems is another crucial aspect of this role, which will involve working with other modeling and simulation teams across INL. This effort involves engaging in computational modeling that couples multiphysics phenomena and various plasma applications.
- You will be a strong asset to our interdisciplinary R&D team, working effectively both independently and collaboratively.
- Write scientific manuscripts for journal publication and presenting research findings at national and international conferences and meetings.
