Position overview Salary range: The salary range for this position is $71,491 - $90,000. The posted UC salary scale for Postdocs set the minimum pay determined by experience level. See Postdoctoral Scholar Scale for the salary range Open date: October 28, 2026 Next review date: Friday, Nov 27, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Final date: Thursday, Dec 31, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Position description We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate the control of Alfven eigenmodes (AEs) in the DIII-D tokamak. The research will explore innovative approaches to controlling energetic-particle-driven instabilities, with the goal of improving energetic particle confinement and advancing high-performance plasma scenarios for future fusion reactors. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and experimental implementation of Plasma Control System (PCS)-based real-time control strategies, including approaches that leverage electron cyclotron heating (ECH) to modify Alfven eigenmode stability and amplitude. Opportunities include integrating physics-based models, advanced control algorithms, and machine learning with experiments on DIII-D. Candidates should have expertise in one or more of the following areas: Real-time control algorithms Energetic particles and Alfven eigenmode physics Machine learning and data-driven modeling Electron cyclotron heating and current drive Applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics, applied physics, or a related field, along with strong analytical, computational, or experimental research skills. Experience in magnetic confinement fusion is desirable. Department : Qualifications Basic qualifications (required at time of application) Candidates should possess a Ph.D. in Physics or a related field.
