Faculty Position in Plasma Physics

The School of Basic Sciences at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the Center for Research in Plasma Physics (CRPP) are seeking applications for a faculty position at the tenured or tenure track assistant professor level in the field of experimental plasma physics.

The successful candidate is expected to strengthen and complement the existing research program in plasma and fusion physics at the CRPP. The CRPP is part of the EPFL School of Basic Sciences and the main Swiss partner of the European programme in fusion (EUROfusion). Its primary focus is on magnetic fusion, and its experimental research is primarily based on the recently upgraded TCV tokamak, a major international facility that is characterised by a flexible configuration and is heated by high power Electron Cyclotron and Neutral Beam Injection systems. The CRPP is also active in theory, basic plasma physics, industrial applications of plasmas and superconductivity. Most activities at CRPP are conducted in the frame of international collaborations.

The appointed professor will be strongly committed to excellence in teaching physics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

We offer internationally competitive salaries, benefits, and start-up resources for scientific equipment, as well as annual resources for PhD students, staff and consumables.
