ASSISTANT SCIENTIST (132066)
POSITION SUMMARY:
The University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics (UR LLE) invites applications for non-tenure track faculty equivalent computational scientist to join the Laser-Plasma Instabilities group in the Plasma and Ultrafast Laser Science and Engineering (PULSE) division. The PULSE Division supports a broad range of both theoretical/computational and experimental plasma physics science, including inertial confinement fusion, ultrashort pulse laser-plasma science, and ultrafast plasma photonics.
The successful candidate will join the recently awarded hub, IFE-COLoR (Consortium On LPI Research), led by the University of Rochester. The candidate will be expected to have a strong background in inertial confinement fusion and knowledge of the associated hydrodynamic modeling. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in physics, astrophysics, computational physics, or a related field; they must be a highly motivated self-starter.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
-
Computational studies of inertial fusion energy
-
Code optimization through improved algorithms and parallelization
-
Coupling of an inline 3D Monte Carlo hot electrons package to 3D radiation hydrodynamics code Excession, for interpretation of pre-heat on current OMEGA experiments and extrapolations at higher energy scales for Inertial Fusion Energy
-
Assessment of the effect of magnetic fields on hot electrons by coupling of the hot electron package with magneto-hydrodynamics in Excession
-
Participation in other developments and experiment interpretation related to the 3D modeling of imprint, foams and cross-beam energy transfer
-
Develop new or augmented physics packages.
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
-
Ph.D. in Physics or an equivalent technical field
-
Computational experience with advanced hydrodynamic simulations
-
Excellent publication record

RESEARCH ASSISTANT FOR AI/ML (134988)
POSITION SUMMARY:
The Theoretical Division at the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) is planning to create an Artificial Intelligence/Machine-Learning (ML) Group to significantly expand LLE's effort in applying ML tools to solve a variety of problems relevant to high-energy-density (HED) sciences, operate current laser facilities (OMEGA and OMEGA EP), as well as design and operate future HED facilities that will deliver ~100 of shots per day and will require sophisticated tools for facility operation, engineering, and data acquisition and analysis. LLE seeks a junior-level member for this group at the Assistant Scientist level. The ideal candidate for this role should have a strong background in machine learning with focus on physical science and technology. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in physics, astrophysics, computational physics, or a related field.
