Position Description

2 YEAR TERM POSITION
POSITION POSTED: APRIL 7, 2017
SALARY RANGE: $52,600 - $79,000 (PD)


Jefferson Lab is seeking a candidate for a two-year Post-Doctoral 
position in the laboratory’s Center for Advanced Studies of Accelerators 
(CASA). The incumbent will participate in design studies of a future 
electron-ion collider (JLEIC). The position will have a specific focus 
on developing analytical and computer simulation models for studying 
Space Charge and Collective Effects for the JLEIC Ion Complex. A 
specific outcome of the research will be the conceptual design of 
proof-of-principle experiments at Jefferson Lab’s Low Energy 
Recirculator Facility (LERF).

*Specific Duties and Responsibilities:*

  *   Perform required simulations of the JLEIC ion complex using
    established codes.
  * Develop improvements to simulation codes with benchmarking to
    existing codes.
  * Contribute to the development of a pre-conceptual design report for
    JLEIC.
  * Develop conceptual designs for proof-of-principle LERF experiments.

Position Requirements

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities:

Demonstrated knowledge of general accelerator physics including beam 
optics, beam dynamics and instabilities is required. Candidates with 
direct experiences in applying numerical techniques to particle 
accelerators, familiarity, and fluency in a number of accelerator design 
and beam dynamics codes, simulation of beam dynamics including 
Collective Effects and Space Charge are particularly encouraged to apply.

The candidate is required to have a Ph.D. in Accelerator Physics or a 
closely related discipline.

Mental Requirements

·Ability to comprehend, formulate, and communicate highly abstract concepts
·Ability to express or exchange complex ideas by means of spoken and 
written communication
