Senior Plasma Code Developer Abingdon Rd, Culham, UK Full-time Salary: £56,596 (inclusive of Specialist Allowance) + excellent benefits including outstanding pension Division: Plasma Science and Fusion Operations Site Location: UKAEA Culham, Oxfordshire Confirmed Grade: Level 5 Department: Plasma Physics Compensation: GBP 56,596 - GBP 56,596 yearly Company Description By 2050, the planet could be using twice as much electricity compared to today. Are you interested in contributing and helping to shape the future of the worlds energy? If so, read on. Fusion, the process that powers the Sun and Stars, is one of the most promising options for generating the cleaner, carbon-free energy that our world badly needs. UKAEA leads the way in realising fusion energy, partnering with industry and research for groundbreaking advancements. Our goal is to bring fusion electricity to the grid, supported by tomorrow's power stations. In pursuit of our mission, UKAEA embraces core values: Innovative, Committed, Trusted, and Collaborative. As an employee of UKAEA, you will benefit from: - Outstanding defined benefit pension scheme,details of which can be found at the end of this advert . - Corporate bonus schemeup to7% and a Relocation allowance (if eligible). - Flexible working options , including family friendly policies and the right to request flexible working from the start of your employment. - Employee Assistance Programme and trained Mental Health First Aiders. - Generous annual leave allowance starting with 25 days, plus 3 days Christmas closure and 2.5 privilege days, in addition to UK bank holidays. - Wide range of career development opportunities . - A vibrant culture committed to equality and being fully inclusive . Job Description The salary for this role is £56,596 (inclusive of a Specialist Allowance). This is a permanent role with UKAEA.

The Role Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to make a difference? Join our team and contribute to the future of fusion energy. As Senior Plasma Code Developer,you will be responsible for developing and maintaining plasma core and edge modelling codes and ensuring that UKAEA's plasma modelling capability incorporates state-of-the-art physics models and features needed to reliably model fusion experiments and concept devices such as MAST-U, JET, STEP, and ITER. Code development will be predominantly focused on the integrated transport modelling suite JINTRAC, including the core transport code JETTO, a multi-fluid code to describe the edge plasma (e.g. EDGE2D or SOLPS), and a kinetic Monte Carlo code (e.g. EIRENE) to describe the neutral particle source. Additional Responsibilities: - Responsible for the development of core and/or edge codes within the integrated modelling suite JINTRAC. - Local expert in plasma core, multi-fluid edge plasma code, and/or kinetic Monte Carlo neutrals codes. - Maintain and document local installations of core (JETTO) and/or edge (EDGE2D-EIRENE) modelling codes. - Implement new code features and coupled physics models via close collaboration with other developers at UKAEA and external laboratories. - Support JINTRAC users at UKAEA and external laboratories. - Optimise code algorithms for modern computers (HPC). - Ensure high-quality standards throughout the software development process, maintaining and improving tests and release procedures. - Maintain and develop the JAMS GUI and its interface to UKAEA, EUROfusion, and ITER data systems. - Demonstrate and disseminate new core and edge JINTRAC algorithms and features to UKAEA plasma modellers and external JINTRAC users. - Exploit tools for coupled core-edge simulations to study plasmas on existing or concept fusion devices, such as MAST-U, JET, STEP, and ITER. Post-holder will be encouraged to disseminate work in publications and at conferences. Qualifications Essential Requirements: - PhD or equivalent level of knowledge in tokamak plasma modelling. - Experience developing scientific codes for computational physics. - Ability and willingness to work on the development, validation, and application of high-impact physics codes and publish results in scientific journals. - Understanding of good software engineering practices and Quality Assurance systems, including version control, profiling tools, testing frameworks and debuggers. - Ability, willingness, and ideally experience of working on and understanding large legacy codes written by others. - Strong ability to communicate scientific results clearly and concisely, both verbally and in writing. - Not essential, but we would value experience with either the Linux operating system, MPI, FORTRAN, C/C++, IDL, Python, or Script-Languages.
