Idaho National Laboratory is hiring a well-qualified Postdoctoral Research Associate in safety and design modeling of fusion devices in the Fusion Research Program, supported by the Fuel Development, Performance and Qualification department. The successful candidate will maintain and develop legacy software while also implementing useful models into new and emerging tools. The candidate will be an integral part of an interdisciplinary team of experimental and computational scientists. Expertise in the areas of thermal hydraulics, heat and mass transfer including two-phase flow, reduced-order modeling, severe accident simulations, nuclear reactor physics and neutronics is desirable. Our team works a 9x80 schedule located out of our Idaho Falls facility with every other Friday off. The candidate is expected to be a strong asset to our interdisciplinary R&D team and work effectively both alone and as a team member.
