In the area of fusion energy sciences, successful applicants must devise a multi-disciplinary research strategy that addresses both the plasma science and computational science challenges in one of two areas:

• The development of techniques to facilitate international fusion collaboration, since international cooperation is of increasing importance for research in Fusion Energy Sciences.

• The development of an integrated software environment for multi-physics, multi-scale simulations of fusion plasmas, including the algorithms, software methodology, and framework for designing, building, and validating the software components needed for comprehensive plasma simulations.
