Head of Fusion Science
Il y a 2 mois
Renaissance Fusion is the first Magnetic Confinement Fusion company in the EU. We are building the first net-energy producing stellarator by combining proprietary innovations in modular design, the manufacturing of next-generation High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnets, and liquid-metal (LM) walls. We are forming a team of the brightest, most driven scientists and engineers to realize and commercialize our non-fusion products within 2 years and integrated fusion solutions within 10 years.
The Head of Fusion Science will work closely with the CTO, the Head of HTS Film Deposition, the Head of Magnets, Vessel & Cryostat (MVC) Engineering, the Head of Liquid Metal R&D and Head of Heat, Diagnostics and Shielding.
**Your main responsibilities will be**:
Responsibilities as a leader
- Lead the Fusion Science department
- Talent Acquisition, Growth & Retention
- Grow department to 7 members in first 4 months. Play a major role in writing job descriptions and conducting job interviews. Proactively scout and attract talents.
- Attract top 5% of MS students, PhD students and post-docs from national and international universities for 6 month - 3 year projects.
- Oversee the formation of two groups in charge respectively of Burning Plasma Physics [alpha particle losses, Alfvén eigenmodes, control of He ashes and impurities, ignition etc.] and Optimization [of the plasma equilibrium, the Coil Winding Surface (CWS) and its “grooves”].
- Appoint, empower, inspire and coordinate the group-leaders. Train the group-leaders of tomorrow.
Scientific leadership and service
- Timely provide input, answers, and recommendations to engineering -based on the information available
- to build the best stellarator possible.
- Proactively and responsively enact calculations relevant to Renaissance Fusion (RF) mission.
- Propose and help realizing and analyzing experiments on existing fusion devices and future RF devices to test predictions relevant to RF mission. Doer/manager. At your level of responsibility, you will mostly be a leader and a manager, but we expect you to lead by example and not lose contact with your older self, when you were a great doer. That is, we expect you to walk around the desks and occasionally contribute -in person
- to tough theory and modeling questions that colleagues might struggle with.
Scientific input to company strategy
- Identify scientific needs, directions,** **priorities and goals in the short, medium and long term, to realize the company’s mission and vision of building and commercializing a stellarator power-plant.
- Identify “gaps” in company’s know-how and skills and fill them as appropriate. Remedies include: reallocation of resources, new hires or outsourcing to external collaborators or providers.
- Identifies scientific risks and opportunities** **and spearheads the team efforts to address them.
Culture

- In collaboration with project managers, develop and execute a plan for the achievement of objectives. Agree with team-members their quarterly and yearly objectives, and personal development plans (courses, summer schools etc.). Follow up on them. Resolve conflicts. Identify and address individual and team needs.
Responsibilities w.r.t. to other stakeholders
- Receive/give feedback from/to team members.
- Work closely with:
- The CTO
- The Head of HTS film deposition, for example on optimal CWS “grooves” that account for the physics of super-currents (following the path of minimum energy, not of minimum resistance, as resistance is zero).
- The Head of liquid metal R&D, for example on the magnetohydrodynamic interaction of LMs with the plasma, the coils and vessel.
- The Head of** **Magnets, Vessel & Cryostat, for example on the optimal laser-patterning for HTS magnets to generate accurate stellarato
