Careers
Fusion research fellowships
Research fellowships currently available at CCFE and partner organisations:
Culham Fusion Research Fellowship
Closing date: 28 February each year, exceptional cases will be considered any time
Each year we intend to appoint up to two outstanding physicists or engineers who have recently completed doctorates, to two-year research fellowships in any field of fusion research conducted at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy.
Candidates need to be highly motivated and show initiative. Managed and/or self-directed personal training and career development at Culham and elsewhere will be available and there will be opportunities for conference attendance. Overseas placements with our collaborators will be encouraged. The appointments will be two-year fixed term staff positions.
Requirements
In general, successful candidates will have completed their doctorates in the previous five years. Candidates need a good degree in physics, mathematics, materials or engineering science and a relevant PhD, preferably in fusion research. Since academic excellence is one of the selection criteria, it is recommended candidates mention significant prizes or other recognition.
