Richmond, Canada General Fusion Inc Full time

**Opportunity**

General Fusion is seeking experienced plasma physicists to contribute to the development of our magnetized target fusion (MTF) power plant. We are looking for individuals to aid in the analysis of our experimental campaigns, who can then use that information to develop models that compare experimental results with simulation and help inform the direction of future development.

General Fusion seeks individuals who are self-motivated, have good communication skills and can stay focused on goals while operating in a fast paced development environment. We welcome individuals who possess the drive required to work on difficult problems, are excited by alternative and innovative solutions and are comfortable with working both independently and within a group.

**Responsibilities**:
The work involved in this project combines a wide range of skill sets, and each team member will need to become familiar with the full scope of the plasma development and understand how their work relates to that of the whole.

**Specific responsibilities include**:

- Analysis of data produced by experimental campaigns and reporting of results.
- Relating the analysis to known plasma physics theory and simulation.
- Using experimental results to inform further plasma technology development.
- Diagnostic development

**Qualifications**
- ** Education**: Master's (Ph. D Desirable). or equivalent degree in plasma physics, fusion science or closely related field.
- Strong background in research related to magnetic confinement of plasmas.
- Practical experimentation skills.
- Experience doing quantitative analysis in Igor, Matlab or similar programming environment.
- Proven ability to work well within a team setting.
- Magnetized Target Fusion.
- Use of visible, VUV, or soft X-ray spectroscopy to analyze high temperature plasmas.

**What We Offer**:

- Flexible hours
- Four weeks’ vacation
- Comprehensive benefits package
- RRSP Contribution
- Support for professional development
- Great company culture - social events, food trucks, bike rides, Sun Run, etc.

**Applications**:
We thank all applicants for their interest, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
- General Fusion is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment with equal regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, or age._
