About this role
Fuse is hiring for a Data Scientist role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.
Requirements
- PhD in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Plasma Physics, Computational Science, Nuclear Engineering, or a closely related field. An exceptional Master's candidate with a strong publication record will be considered.
- Strong academic record, with a target GPA of 3.8+ from a competitive program.
- Demonstrable depth in at least one of: magnetohydrodynamics, kinetic plasma theory, radiation transport, or pulsed-power circuit modeling. Familiarity with the others.
- Fluency in vector and tensor calculus, Maxwell's equations in arbitrary geometries, hyperbolic PDEs and numerical schemes, Bayesian statistics, and optimization under constraints.
- Production-grade Python using NumPy, SciPy, xarray, JAX, or PyTorch for differentiable physics, with comfort dropping into C++ or Fortran when Python isn't fast enough.
- Experience writing simulation code from scratch, not just running someone else's solver.
- Ability to read a physics paper, identify the load-bearing assumption, and determine quickly whether it applies to our regime.
- Hands-on experience with one or more of: MCNP, GEANT4, FLUKA, PIC codes such as LSP, EPOCH, or WarpX; MHD codes such as USim, FLASH, or HYDRA-class; or DPF-specific codes such as Lee model or GORGON-adjacent work.
