<big><big>Accelerator Science Post Doctoral Fellows -10655</big></big><br>
<br>
(TERM POSITION ENDING THREE YEARS FROM HIRE DATE)
<br>
<br>
DATE POSTED: JANUARY 3, 2011
<br>
<br>
SALARY RANGE: $48,600 - $73,200 (PD)
<br>
<br>
<br>
DUTIES:
<br>
Provide accelerator design and beam dynamics calculation support for
the conceptual design of a medium energy electron-ion collider
(MEIC)
in the Center for Advanced Studies of Accelerators (CASA). Current
areas of research include design of MEIC ion large poster, design of
MEIC interaction regions, dynamic aperture studies, polarized beams
in
figure-8 storage rings, beam instabilities and feedback systems,
beam-beam and other collective beam problems, design of MEIC
electron
cooling facility and cooling simulation studies. It is expected that
the incumbent will work under supervision of a senior staff and will
interact closely with other members of CASA and external
collaborators
in a fast-paced dynamic team working environment. It is also
expected
that the incumbent will document the results of the studies in MEIC
design report, appropriate journals and conference proceedings.<br>
<br>
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:<br>
Ph.D. in accelerator physics or a closely related discipline.
Demonstrated knowledge of general accelerator physics including
linear
optics, synchrotron motion, beam dynamics and instabilities. Prior
knowledge in any of the following subjects: linac accelerators,
storage
rings, colliders, beam polarization, collective beam phenomena and
beam
cooling, as well as any working experiences in accelerator design
and
research are not required but will be strongly preferred.
Demonstrated
ability in applying numerical techniques to particle accelerators. A
working knowledge, familiarity, and fluency in a number of
accelerator
design and beam dynamics codes will be a plus.<br>
