Scientist, Multiscale Plasma–Material Simulations

A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research; Singapore; On-site; SGD 90,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

A*STAR’s FEAT Centre seeks a Scientist or Senior Scientist to model plasma–material interactions for fusion applications. You’ll apply atomistic and multiscale simulations to sputtering, erosion and surface damage, supporting experiments and informing plasma-facing component design.

You will collaborate with internal and international partners, advance multiscale modelling, and develop workflows to integrate different modelling methods. A strong computational background and PhD are required.

Qualifications

• PhD in materials science, physics, nuclear engineering, computational science or closely related field.

Responsibilities

• Develop and apply MD, Monte Carlo, and multiscale modelling to PMI under fusion-relevant conditions.
• Contribute to multiscale and multiphysics simulation capabilities.
• Support reduced-order or surrogate models for coupling between modelling approaches.
• Analyse, manage and curate simulation data with reproducibility in mind.
• Interpret results to provide insights into sputtering, erosion and near-surface damage.
• Collaborate with internal and international teams and publish research findings.
