Job Type Full-Time Overview The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is seeking to appoint a Associate Computational Scientist to contribute to the advancement of modeling capabilities and physics research pertaining to low-temperature plasmas and associated technologies. The primary responsibility of this position involves conducting and facilitating computational modeling of authentic low-temperature plasma devices, particularly those operating at low pressure, for the purposes of scientific discovery and engineering design. The successful candidate will achieve this objective through the application of high-performance computing (HPC) best practices, advanced mathematical research into novel algorithms, and the utilization of machine learning techniques for code acceleration and the development of reduced-order "surrogate" models. This will require working with and maintaining the LTP-PIC software, a particle-in-cell (PIC) software package developed at PPPL for...
