Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/div) to Further Advance the Understanding of Boronization Aspects for Fusion Reactor Conditions
The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Garching offers an opportunity to participate in a post doctorate program to perform research activities in the division Tokamak Scenario Development (E1) which operates the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) tokamak. Boronization, i.e. the coating of surfaces with boron-hydride layers, is a key technique to provide stable plasma start-up and high performance operation conditions. With this technique comprehensive experience exists for AUG's operation domain, however, an evaluation in view of the specific ITER fusion reactor requirements is still missing.
