What if you could have an impact on the search for an abundant, safe, affordable, and environmentally sound means of generating electricity? This is the goal of fusion energy research at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), a United States Department of Energy national laboratory for plasma physics and nuclear fusion science. If that idea appeals to you, Princeton University’s Research Computing department is recruiting a Research Software Engineer to join the fast-growing Research Software Engineering (RSE) Group.
In the RSE Group, we collectively provide computational research expertise to multiple divisions within the University. As a central team of software experts, we focus on improving Princeton’s computational research software’s quality, performance, and sustainability. Our group is committed to building collaborative and inclusive environments in which the best software engineering practices are valued, and to sharing and applying cross-disciplinary computational techniques in new and emerging areas.
In this position, you will be an integral part of the research team for a major experimental device at PPPL. Each run of the experiment consists of a plasma discharge or shot. The team is developing a web application that will track the full lifecycle of the shots: from the initial scientific proposal, and the logging of the experimental conditions, to the presentation of the analysis of large data generated by the plasma shots. Your first responsibility in this position will be to develop this web application. Some components of this software have already been developed and can be reused with some upgrades; other components will need to be written from scratch. This web application will be critical to the experiment and will need to be fully operational by 2025. It will be used by everyone involved with the experiment: researchers at PPPL, Princeton University, national and international institutions, and technical staff.
If you have a strong background in Software Development including web application development, you will have a unique opportunity to have a significant and long-lasting impact on important and exciting research.
You’ll have the opportunity to regularly work closely with colleagues, faculty, student/postdoctoral researchers, and technical staff associated with Princeton University, PPPL, and the Office of Information Technology (OIT) to enable and accelerate research software development.
