The National Institute of Education invites suitable applications for the position of Research Fellow on a 16-month contract at the Natural Sciences and Science Education Department, NIE.
Project Title: Feasibility Study on Laser Induced Plasma-Guided Electrical Discharges
Project Introduction:
The aim of the project is to perform simulation and modelling studies that evaluates several types of conditions and design parameters of different plasma and laser devices that would allow: (1) generation of laser-induced plasma channel under atmospheric pressure, (2) propagation and maintaining of electrical stream/pulses on the plasma channel, (3) evaluate effects of laser-induced plasma with material interaction. Simulations will be carried out using a several different software/packages such as COMSOL Multiphysics, PIC, etc. to determine the feasibility of generating these laser-induced plasma channel for applications requiring electrical discharge, electrical transport, and spectroscopy.
Requirements:
- PhD in Physics, or Computer Science.
- Minimum 5 years working experience.
- Experience and research background in Particle-In-Cell simulation and other simulations techniques.
- Passionate about theoretical and computational applications in laser and plasmas.
- Proficient in one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, C/C++, etc.) and computational libraries/packages/modules.
- Good track record in publication.
Responsibilities:
- Work on development of laser induced plasma channel and other plasma/laser setups.
- Perform modelling/simulation work on laser induced plasma channel and other plasma/laser setups.
- Help with aspects of project management - prepare writeups, progress reports, risk/safety assessments, internal reports, and compilation of literature survey.
- Documentation and scientific reporting.
- Mentoring junior staff.
- Other tasks as assigned by the Principal Investigator.
