University of Rochester: Office of the Provost: Academic Center: LLE-Laboratory for Laser Energ

**Salary Range or Pay Grade**
$100,000-140,000
**Description**

The URochester has exciting opportunities for scientists to join the Laser-Plasma Interactions Group in the PULSE Division at LLE, while collaborating directly with plasma scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory—potentially stationed at LLNL. With the success of inertial confinement fusion, the community is evaluating next generation facilities to support the stockpile stewardship mission. One of LLE’s roles is to push the current understanding through simulations of the effects of laser-bandwidth on laser-plasma instabilities relevant to laser indirect drive and direct-drive fusion in future experiments aimed at delivering GJ-class yields.

A key to inertial fusion is the mitigation of laser-plasma instabilities, and the team is developing the scientific understanding of how laser...
