Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

Key Responsibilities:

• Contribute to modelling, simulation and uncertainty quantification activities for UKAEA fusion programmes such as the LIBRTI (Lithium Breeding Tritium Innovation) Programme.
• Development, testing and maintenance of performant and highly scalable codes.
• Data preparation and analysis from either experimental devices or simulations.
• Development of high-fidelity integrated multi-physics models of fusion systems (digital twins).
• Deployment and migration of codes to new computing architectures.
• Promote and disseminate our activities both internally and externally through reports, journal articles, conference contributions, and published software packages.
• Willingness to travel domestically and abroad for short periods.
• Supporting users in adopting your outputs and technologies.
