The challenges of climate change are some of the most urgent and demanding issues that the world is facing. We need to work now to deliver solutions for the long term. Fusion has the potential to be the ultimate clean power solution, representing a low carbon, safe, continuous, and sustainable source of energy. The UK is widely recognised as a world leader in the most promising fusion technologies. We have the potential to capitalise on our vast scientific and technical expertise and lead the future commercialisation of fusion energy.
The UKAEA is vital in realising the UK’s high potential and delivering the UK government’s ambitious fusion energy programmes. It is the largest fusion organisation in the world and one of the world’s leading fusion research laboratories. It aims to amplify the scientific and economic benefit of fusion R&D for the UK.
UKAEA is at a crucial turning point in its history with the record-breaking JET facility approaching decommissioning, the transfer of the STEP fusion power plant programme into a new subsidiary limited company, and the implementation of an ambitious set of opportunities to develop the fusion sector in the UK. These are challenging, multi-year programmes that require an exceptional leader to guide UKAEA as it delivers on its mission.
We are looking for individuals with a keen interest in fusion energy and world-leading experience across science, technology, and R&D related sectors who can provide strategic challenge, guidance, and support to the organisation. This is a tremendous opportunity to be involved in leading a world leading research and development organisation.
My Ministerial colleagues and I are committed to fair and open recruitment processes across all public appointments that we make. We proactively welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including those from under-represented groups.
Should you need any further assistance, my officials would be happy to talk to you about this and other senior roles in the public sector.
If you believe you have the experience and qualities we are seeking to contribute to this important organisation, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
Andrew Bowie ? MP Minister for Nuclear and Networks
