Postdoctoral position in high energy density (HED) plasma physics
The Department of Astrophysical Sciences of Princeton University invites applications for a postdoctoral or more senior position in high energy density (HED) plasma physics focusing on study of magnetic reconnection. The successful candidates will perform a range of experiments on small- and large-scale laser facilities, lead theoretical and computational studies for data analyses, and understand the physics significances by connecting to space and astrophysical scenarios. Hands-on experimental experiences are preferred but not required.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. and a strong background in experimental plasma physics. Experience in the areas of HED plasma physics and laboratory astrophysics, as well as capability to develop novel diagnostic and data analysis tools to facilitate the research is desired. A strong publication record is also important. Applicants should apply online at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/32266. Interested candidates should submit a Curriculum Vitae to include a list of refereed journal publications, expertise, and experience in the areas of HED plasma physics, and other achievements. Two letters of reference should be arranged to be sent to Professor Hantao Ji at the email address of hji@princeton.edu. The position will be filled as soon as possible for the initial appointment of one year with possible extensions for second year and third year. The start date is negotiable.
Applications will be reviewed as they are received until the position is filled. This position is subject to the University's background check policy.
