Job description:
The Beam Physics and Accelerators Group (BPAG) at Northern Illinois University (NIU) is seeking applications for a postdoctoral research associate position in Beam Physics and Accelerator Science. The position is for two years, renewable for an additional year, subject to availability of funds and mutual desire.
Responsibilities
The successful applicant will develop theories, numerical methods, simulations, and performance analysis and optimization tools for nonlinear integrable Hamiltonian systems, and apply them to various aspects of the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator at Fermilab. Collaborate with NIU faculty and students, and Fermilab staff on beam physics topics related to future Fermilab facilities based on IOTA as they arise. Other relevant tasks aimed at the intensity frontier in accelerator physics may be pursued as well.
Required Qualifications
Doctor of Philosophy in physics, with specialization in beam physics, accelerator science, or computational physics, and 0-3 years beyond Ph.D.; or Doctor of Philosophy in applied mathematics or computer science, and 2-3 years of experience in scientific computing.
Preferred Skills
Demonstrate knowledge of the systems and operations used within the areas and departments of responsibility. Assimilate work within the context of activities of the accelerator science community as a whole. Identify and resolve technical problems, both at the conceptual as well as practical/algorithmic level. Possess excellent oral and written communications skills.
To apply, please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, publication list, and make arrangements for three reference letters to be forwarded to:
Julie Lorang
Northern Illinois University
Department of Physics
DeKalb, IL 60115
E-mail: jlorang@niu.edu
Reviewing applications will start on September 25, 2015 and continue until the position is filled.
Northern Illinois University is an equal opportunity, equal access, affirmative action employer committed to achieving a diverse community. Pre-employment background check is required.
