Job Description

Join Our Team at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, SingaporeThe School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) at NTU Singapore hosts research and education activities in two divisions: Division of Mathematical Sciences (MAS) and Division of Physics and Applied Physics (PAP). MAS covers diverse topics ranging from pure mathematics to the applications of mathematics in cryptography, computing, business, and finance. PAP covers many areas of fundamental and applied physics, including quantum information, condensed matter physics, biophysics, and photonics. Over the years, SPMS has attracted talented individuals from around the world and Singapore to join as scientific leaders and researchers.The project aims at assessing the effects of shear flows on turbulent transport in various magnetic configurations. The Research Fellow will be employed and stationed at NTU, and is expected to travel overseas to interact with scientific teams in Europe.Key Responsibilities:Elucidate the effects of shear flows on turbulent transport in fusion plasmas, with the help of theory and simulations, in collaboration with relevant teams in EuropeBuild-up a comprehensive database based on these simulationsAnalyze data with the use of deep learning and dynamic mode decomposition techniques to develop surrogate modelsCompare the outcome of surrogate models with existing experimental dataJob Requirements:PhD degree in physicsDemonstrated experience in computer sciencesDemonstrated experience in handling large size databaseKnowledgeable in theoretical physics, and at minima basic knowledge in theoretical plasma physicsDemonstrated track-record of scientific productivityExperience of scientific work in an international environmentThe College of Science seeks a diverse and inclusive workforce and is committed to equality of opportunity.
