Richmond, Canada General Fusion Inc Full time

**Position**:Experimental Plasma Physicist, Diagnostics

**Location**:Burnaby, BC, Canada

General Fusion is transforming how the world is energized by developing the first commercially viable fusion power plant. Fusion will deliver clean, safe and on-demand power at industrial scale, providing a powerful complement to renewables and a pathway to a zero-emission grid.

Combining new technologies, proven industrial processes, and advances in fundamental fusion science, General Fusion aims to be the first in the world to develop commercial fusion power. Key performance requirements have been demonstrated at the system level, setting the stage for building a pre-commercial fusion power prototype.

**Position Overview**:
We are looking for an experimental plasma physicist to join our diagnostics team. The focus of this position is on laser-based heterodyne plasma diagnostic techniques (interferometry and polarimetry).

**Key Responsibilities**:

- Develop new diagnostic systems for plasma experiments
- Assemble, install, and operate diagnostic equipment
- Process data, interpret and report results
- Relate the analysis to known plasma physics theory and simulation
- Use experimental results to inform further diagnostic development

**Education**:

- A Masters or Ph.D., or equivalent degree, in plasma physics or a closely related field

**Skillset**:

- Strong background in research related to diagnostics for magnetically confined high-temperature plasmas; specifically with heterodyne laser based diagnostic techniques
- Proven ability to work well within a team setting.
- Experience with statistical data analysis tools and standard data science techniques
- Experience in Magnetized Target Fusion is an asset.

**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**:
