ºÚÁÏÉçapp

"Life changing," "outstanding opportunity," "unique." These are some of the ways former or current Monaco-ºÚÁÏÉçapp Fellows describe their two-year postdoctoral experience at ºÚÁÏÉçapp. Working in fusion science or engineering, shoulder-to-shoulder with experts in their domain, Monaco Fellows not only contribute meaningfully to the ºÚÁÏÉçapp Project but also gain invaluable professional experience and, in many cases, the chance to participate in the publication of high-quality journal articles in fusion science and technology.

The positions are funded by the Principality of Monaco, which signed a Partnership Arrangement with the ºÚÁÏÉçapp in 2008 and renewed its sponsorship in 2018 for ten years. Up to five researchers are recruited every two years, selected from among applicants from the seven ºÚÁÏÉçapp Members or from the Principality of Monaco. Since the start of the program, 39 postdoctoral researchers have been recruited for two-years terms at ºÚÁÏÉçapp.

The ºÚÁÏÉçapp is seeking top candidates with an excellent track record of creativity and accomplishment. 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
• Thermohydraulics

The ninth campaign opens today and closes on 29 February 2024. See all information on the Monaco-ºÚÁÏÉçapp Fellowships page of the ºÚÁÏÉçapp web. To apply, see the ºÚÁÏÉçapp JOBS page.
