The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics as an institute of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science (registered association) is one of the leading centers for fusion research and is engaged in developing the physical foundations for a future fusion power plant.

The institute is affiliated to the European Fusion Programme.

The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Garching offers an opportunity to participate in a post doctorate program to perform research activities in the division Tokamak Scenario Development (E1) which operates the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) tokamak.

Boronization, i.e.

the coating of surfaces with boron-hydride layers, is a key technique to provide stable plasma start-up and high performance operation conditions.

With this technique comprehensive experience exists for AUG's operation domain, however, an evaluation in view of the specific ITER fusion reactor requirements is still missing.
