<big><b>Beam Diagnostics and Transport Performance Integrator -
10649</b></big><br>
<br>
DATE POSTED: NOVEMBER 10, 2010
<br>
<br>
SALARY RANGE: $68,500 - $135,500 (SS II/III)
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
<u>Minimum Qualifications</u>:<br>
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. <br>
