Job description:
Open Date: 05/16/2016
Close Date: 06/16/2016
Description
The Fermilab Accelerator Division (AD) seeks outstanding candidates for an Associate Scientist position on the staff of the AD Muon Department. The successful candidate will be involved in the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of the Fermilab Muon Campus. The present projects include the Muon g-2 and Mu2e projects as well as the several Accelerator Improvement Projects necessary to convert the former Antiproton Source into a muon beam facility. In the long term, it is anticipated that there will be opportunities for involvement in a wide range of accelerator research and development activities in the Fermilab portfolio of accelerator physics.
The position has equivalent seniority to a university assistant professorship. This position is for an initial term of three years with a possible extension to a second three year term. These initial terms are followed by an opportunity for an appointment to a term of indefinite duration on the Fermilab scientific staff.
Respects, understands and values individual differences that embody the principles of diversity.
Abide by all environment, safety, and health regulations.
Job Duties and Responsibilities
Education and Qualifications
Application Instructions
Interested candidates should submit via Academic Jobs Online: 1) Cover letter, 2) Curriculum Vitae, 3) Research Statement, 4) Three or More Reference Letters (to be submitted by the reference writers at the AJO site).

Physical Activity and Work Conditions
HUMAN FACTORS: Mental Concentration, Sitting, and Tight Work Schedule.
PHYSICAL FACTORS: Ionizing Radiation and Oxygen Deficiency Hazard.
Fermilab will make the decision to sponsor an employee for U.S. permanent residence on a case-by-case basis. Fermilab will consider the following factors, among others, when determining whether to sponsor an employee for U.S. permanent residence: performance, length of service, long-term need for the position, and cost. There is no legal requirement that Fermilab sponsor an employee for U.S. permanent residence.

Job Duties and Responsibilities
- Oversight, development, and maintenance of beamline optics models for the various proton and secondary beamlines associated with the Muon Campus. This work requires significant interaction with a team of physicists at Fermilab and other institutions.
- Analysis of the transport of muon polarization from the muon production target to the g-2 storage ring.
- Development of commissioning plans for Muon Campus systems prior to first beam.
- Participation with the engineering team in the design and construction of Muon Campus beamlines
- Participation in project reviews
- Participation in commissioning activities for Muon Campus systems
- Presentation of work at workshops, conferences, and collaboration meetings
- Serves on Laboratory and professional committees as appropriate. May lecture and teach in a related field of science.
Education and Qualifications
- A Ph.D. in Physics
- 3 or more years of post-doctoral experience (or equivalent) in accelerator physics
- Demonstrated ability to function effectively as a member of a team in research and operational environments, often with tight schedule constraints
- Demonstrated ability to carry out independent research and project leadership
- Demonstrated skills in particle beam measurements and analysis of beam measurement data
- Effective troubleshooting ability
- Demonstrated excellence in oral and written communication
- Experience with accelerator and beamline lattice modeling. Familiarity with modeling software including MAD X, OptiM, and G4 Beamline is highly desirable.
- Possess the potential to contribute to the Laboratory and broader scientific community in a way that will subsequently lead to an appointment as a permanent member of the Fermilab scientific staff.
- Demonstrated understanding of the radiological issues associated with the use of high energy particle beams
