We are working at the intersection of kinetic and fluid methods for the simulations of dense kinetic plasmas, where the density of the plasma is such that it is typically treated via fluid methods, but significant kinetic effects are critical to accurate simulation of the important phenomena. We look for expertise in kinetic simulations, particle-in-cell, MHD, two-fluid, and moment closure. Successful applications will have background in both computational and theoretical plasma techniques.
