[Cugapost] Beam Diagnostics and Transport Performance Integrator---a message from Yvonne Cutler

[Rachel Harris]

*Beam Diagnostics and Transport Performance Integrator - 10649*

DATE POSTED: NOVEMBER 10, 2010

SALARY RANGE: $68,500 - $135,500 (SS II/III)

Jefferson Lab, located in Newport News, Virginia, USA, is a world-class 
scientific laboratory centered around a unique high-intensity, 
high-power, continuous wave electron beam, which provides a challenging 
beam diagnostic environment. The lab is managed for the U. S. Department 
of Energy by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC.

Currently, we have an excellent opportunity for a Beam Diagnostic 
Physicist/Engineer to serve as the Jlab Accelerator Division, Operations 
Department primary point of contact for beam diagnostics and electron 
beam dumps.

As the Beam Diagnostics Integrator you will lead the development of new 
intercepting and non-intercepting beam diagnostics for improved 
accelerator operations. Additionally, the Beam Diagnostics Integrator 
will work with the Engineering division in developing maintenance plans, 
performance tracking, and improving the existing beam diagnostics and 
machine protection systems. This includes providing guidance on the 
design, expected signal levels and optimal location for installation of 
newly configured diagnostics. The candidate will work with software, 
engineering and accelerator professionals in integrating existing beam 
diagnostics into new applications for use by the operations staff and 
user community.

As the Beam Diagnostics Integrator you also will be responsible for all 
beam dumps in the accelerator, including the high-power 1MW beam dumps. 
This includes coordinating across divisions to ensure that all 
maintenance activities and improvement plans for the beam dumps are 
properly planned and executed. Additionally, the candidate will 
coordinate individuals within the JLab Facilities, Engineering, ESH&Q, 
Accelerator, and Physics Divisions to ensure that experimental beam line 
configuration and beam delivery is optimized to support each experiment 
and ensure the high power beam dumps are performing within 
specifications. The candidate will be responsible for monitoring the 
beam dump performance during CEBAF operations, for ensuring that the 
beam dumps are capable of supporting the planned and future Jlab 
experimental program and for developing and executing upgrade plans for 
the high power dumps for the CEBAF accelerator, both the present 6GeV 
program and the planned 12GeV era.

The candidate will be responsible for the calculations and simulations 
necessary for proper integration of all activites above. The candidate 
shall have specific expertise (preferred) or the ability to develop the 
necessary skills in these areas.

Opportunities for involvement in accelerator R&D projects at the Center 
for the Advanced Studies of Accelerators (CASA) or the SRF institute at 
JLab will be encouraged.

_Minimum Qualifications_:
  Ph.D. degree in Accelerator, Experimental Particle/Nuclear Physics or 
Nuclear Engineering with at least five years of experience or a Masters 
degree in the same fields with at least ten years of experience working 
at a particle accelerator. A demonstrated experience in leading beam 
diagnostic projects from conception to operation is highly preferred. 
Expertise in calculation and simulation of particle interactions with 
matter is required. Experience executing GEANT3/4, egs, and/or mcnp 
simulation codes and in the interpretation of their results. Excellent 
communication skills, both verbal and written, are required.
