ITER/ASIPP Joint Postdoc Projects

The ITER Organization and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Plasma Physics (ASIPP), have launched a joint postdoctoral training program that will give early-career researchers the opportunity to conduct fusion research at both institutions under the supervision of experts from China and ITER.

Under this agreement ASIPP will create a series of postdoctoral positions focused on research topics of mutual interest to the ITER Organization and ASIPP. The selected researchers will be employed by ASIPP and jointly supervised by experts from both organizations. The positions are offered for a two-year term, with research carried out both at ITER and at ASIPP headquarters. 

The program is open to outstanding doctoral graduates worldwide. Applicants should generally be no more than 35 years old and should have obtained a doctoral degree, or have passed the doctoral dissertation defense with the degree pending. The postdoctoral positions are open to application by Chinese nationals and nationals of other ITER Members. 

Applications are accepted year-round until all positions are filled. Further information, including application details, is available in Chinese and English here.
