Description de l'offre


The French Institute for Magnetic Fusion Research (IRFM), located at CEA Cadarache, operates the WEST tokamak, an internationally recognized fusion device capable of sustaining plasma discharges for more than 1,000 seconds.

This postdoctoral position is part of a three-year collaborative project led by the Plasma Physics Laboratory (LPP) at École Polytechnique and involving German partners. The project aims to investigate density fluctuation dynamics and the role of plasma flows in the saturation of turbulence by comparing measurements performed on the WEST tokamak and the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator.

The successful candidate will contribute to the development and scientific exploitation of a new microwave diagnostic on WEST: a poloidal correlation reflectometer dedicated to probing the plasma core. This diagnostic will complement the existing Doppler reflectometry system, allowing multi-scale characterization of plas...
