Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Type One Energy Full time

Join us in our mission to commercialize fusion energy

We're all about solving climate change through fusion energy, one stellarator at a time. Our impressive team of globally recognized fusion scientists along with veteran business leaders with experienced in scaling energy technologies, came together with the ambition to fulfill the bold decadal vision of commercial fusion.

We designed, built, and operated the world's leading Stellarators.

We aim to commercialize fusion energy in 10 years.

We know what we're doing - our leadership team has over 150 years' of experience combined.

We've already been recognised for our work by the Department of Energy through awards and funding.

Our philosophy accepts no intellectual boundaries and celebrates creativity.


If you are searching for the best new ideas and share our vision, join us as a Computational Physicist. This is what you need to know:

Location: Madison (WI), Oak Ridge (TN), Boston (MA) or Vancouver (BC)

Salary: Highly Competitive Plus Benefits

Contract: Permanent, Full time

Reporting to: Head of High-Fidelity Predictive Modelling

Your role in the mission:

Type One Energy is We are seeking a computational physicists with expertise in high-fidelity scientific computing to join our team. In this role you will help design and demonstrate the scientific validity of our fusion reactor concepts by performing and validating predictions of stellarator plasma performance.

These performance predictions will exploit high-fidelity simulations of a variety of phenomena. Initial priority will focus on generating turbulence-based profile predictions using codes like Trinity3D and GX. Simulation of additional phenomena (MHD equilibrium and stability, neoclassical transport, energetic particle physics, plasma/neutral boundary modeling) will also be required.

You will be responsible for coordinating the variety of tasks required for self-consistent solutions through excellent communication and documentation. You will also help define and develop an integrated predictive framework, using reduced-fidelity models where appropriate. Established codes over a range of fidelity will be used where possible, however additional code development is also likely required, which will be coordinated within the broader Applied Physics group. Validation of the predictions with existing stellarator experiments is a key expected result of this role, which will require your collaboration with experts in the public sector. Results will contribute to publication in leading peer-reviewed journals.

  • Perform profile predictions based on gyrokinetic turbulence simulations.
  • Perform and/or contribute to simulation of a variety of additional phenomenon including MHD equilibrium and stability, neoclassical transport, energetic particle transport, plasma/neutral boundary modelling.
  • Help establish and implement an integrated performance prediction framework using multi-fidelity simulation capabilities.
  • Validate performance predictions with existing stellarator experiments.
  • Collaborate with experts in the publicly funded fusion research community.
  • Help publish the validated physics basis for our stellarator fusion reactor concepts.
  • Prepare technical reports, presentations, and peer-reviewed journal papers to disseminate research findings and contribute to the scientific community.

What you'll need:

  • Ph.D. in physics, engineering or a related field.
  • Proficiency in high-fidelity scientific computing & high-performance computing.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience in gyrokinetic turbulence simulation, transport modelling, and experimental validation is desired.
  • Experience with other high-fidelity plasma simulation codes is an advantage.
  • Proficiency in C++/Fortran, Python and Julia is preferred.
  • Familiarity of magnetized plasma physics is preferred.
