THE ROLE

An exciting opportunity for a researcher exists in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at Macquarie University. We are seeking a qualified Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join a team with international reputation for producing high quality research outcomes in the area of Inertial Confinement Fusion.

Reporting to Prof. Alexander Fuerbach, you will:
- Conduct complex numerical simulations and theoretical studies of dense laser plasmas and intense laser interactions with matter using particle-in-cell (PIC), hydrodynamic, and/or Fokker-Planck open and proprietary simulation packages.- Investigate and develop different physical approaches to optimise non-thermal hydrogen-boron laser fusion, including studies on laser-plasma particle acceleration, ion stopping power, dynamics and kinetics of high-density and strongly non-equilibrium plasmas (suprathermal ion distribution), burn wave propagation, radiation properties of hot dense plasmas, and mitigation of hot plasma radiation cooling.- Study nonlinear laser-plasma interaction to develop new techniques for optimisation/modification of the laser pulse parameters, such as pulse focusing, filamentation, chirping, and temporal compression.- Validate computational codes and implement theoretical models of dense laser plasmas and laser-matter interactions with respect to obtained experimental data.- Advise the industry partner (HB11 Energy), identify perspective scientific directions and prepare expert summaries/reviews on the progress in laser fusion.- Supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students involved in the project.

We very much look forward to hearing from applicants who have demonstrated excellence in their past research, have several of the technical skills required to match the demands of this project, and who are keen to engage in a project that involves collaboration with academic and industry partners.
