Associate Research Physicist - Liquid Metal

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory seeks to fill an experimental postdoctoral research position.  The researcher will participate in laboratory studies of magnetorotational instability and liquid metal free-surface flow.  The researcher will develop measurement systems, acquire data and work closely with other personnel to interpret and publish results.

Candidates must have a background in experimental physics, preferably liquid metal MHD or plasma physics. Familiarity with data acquisition software and data processing languages (e.g. LABView, IDL, MATLAB) and electronic instrumentation is highly desirable. Astrophysical and geophysical knowledge is useful but not essential.

Appointments at a staff physicist level may also be considered depending on the qualifications.

Qualified applicants should apply at jobs.princeton.edu - and send a curriculum vitae and bibliography, and arrange to have two letters of recommendation sent as soon as possible for full consideration.

Letters can be mailed to Dr. Hantao Ji, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, James Forrestal Campus, P.O. Box 451, Princeton, NJ 08543 or emailed to hji@pppl.gov.
