Research possibilities exist in many areas of fusion science and technology, including: control technology plasma-facing materials and components burning plasma physics (confinement, stability, plasma-wall interactions, control, energetic particle physics) heating and current drive physics and technology fusion plasma diagnostics superconducting magnet technology electrical engineering mechanical engineering/structural analysis remote handling technology vacuum technology and plasma fuelling technology cryogenics tokamak operations tritium breeding and tritium handling technology and thermohydraulics. ITER is seek top candidates with an excellent track record of creativity and accomplishment. If your PhD was awarded after 1 January 2019-or you are about to obtain one-and you are interested in participating in one of the great scientific and technical challenges of the 21st century, this may be an opportunity for you.

Recruitment opens for the next Monaco-ITER Postdoctoral Fellowship campaign on 17 January 2022. The most common question from nuclear industry representatives was: "How can we get involved in fusion?" "The benefit for international scientific collaboration and the potential spill-over effect for technological innovation is hugely significant."Īt the ITER stand, in space shared with the European Commission and the European Domestic Agency Fusion for Energy, there was a steady stream of interested visitors over three days. In her address on the opening day, European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson placed ITER squarely in the category of "disruptive innovations. "R&D in new technologies and concepts are stimulating the sector as well as business and job prospects and competitiveness within the entire value chain," stressed WNE President Sylvie Bermann. Organizers highlighted the role that the global nuclear sector can play as a "steerable, non-intermittent, and competitive" source of electricity in the fight against climate change and the effort to move toward a sustainable low-carbon-emissions future. This year's edition, which attracted more than 600 exhibitors from 83 countries and approximately 18,000 participants, was organized around the theme "The nuclear industry, a key partner for a low-carbon society in a responsible future." WNE brings together the global civil nuclear community once every two years for networking and discussions of the major challenges facing the industry and society. ITER was represented earlier this month at the world's largest exhibition dedicated to the civil nuclear sector-the World Nuclear Exhibition (WNE), which was organized in Paris and virtually from 30 November to 2 December 2021.
