Position Description


POSITION POSTED:  DECEMBER 9, 2020
SALARY RANGE:  $57,200 - $85,800 (PD)

You ‘matter’ to us! Our diverse team at Jefferson Lab includes more than 750 people, including physicists, engineers, computer professionals, technicians and more. From probing the basic building blocks of matter to performing advanced computing and applied research, we are on the leading edge of science and technology. If you are looking for a great job in a unique place where your contributions truly matter, consider Jefferson Lab!

Jefferson Lab seeks to fill a new Postdoctoral Fellow position in the Experimental Physics Software and Computing Infrastructure (EPSCI) group within the Computational Science and Technology (CST) division. The position will focus on a DOE funded project to incorporate Artifical Intelligence (AI) into detector control systems used in the Experimental Nuclear Physics program. The successful candidate will work with computer scientists, research software engineers, and physicists to develop and deploy AI systems that can control detectors in near real time in order to reduce or eliminate the need for later calibrations. The candidate must have a background in experimental nuclear or particle physics with a strong interest in detector systems.


Essential Job Functions:

Understanding of calibration requirements for detectors such as wire chambers, scintillating counters, electromagnetic calorimeters or Cerenkov detectors

Understanding of calibration needs and existing procedures for detector systems such as CLAS12, Glue X, or similar

Assist in the design, development, testing, and deployment of AI systems for controlling large detectors

Collaborate with university researchers and Jefferson Lab scientists to understand the scientific and technical goals of the relevant large detector system(s)




Position Requirements


Education and Experience:

  *   Ph.D. in Experimental Physics


Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

  *   Knowledge of control systems (Experience with EPICS is a plus)

  *   Must possess good written and oral communication skills

  *   Must be able to operate computer equipment in an office or laboratory environment

  *
Proficiency in C/C++, Java, and Python are a plus

  *   Experience in AI is a plus

  *   Familiarity with Linux systems is a plus

JSA will not sponsor H1B visas for this position


Mental Requirements


  *   Ability to understand, remember, and communicate highly technical information

  *   Ability to understand complex problems and explore and implement alternative solutions

  *   Willingness to collaborate closely with the team
