This position will support a Laboratory strategic initiative to develop stellarator pilot plant designs. The stellarator is an attractive approach for a fusion pilot plant due to steady-state operation, low recirculating power, and being free of current-driven disruptions. Recent advances in stellarator physics and engineering have created opportunities to investigate new stellarator configurations (coils and plasmas) that are optimized to satisfy attractiveness criteria such as good energetic particle confinement, reduced turbulent transport, self-consistent divertor operation, simpler coil geometries, and efficient maintenance. New concepts like using permanent magnets for 3D shaping provide unique solutions that need further exploration.
