Open Date: 02/11/2016
Close Date: 03/11/2016
Description
The Magnet Systems Department of Fermilab, a world leader in the development of superconducting accelerator magnets, is seeking a motivated individual to fill a research associate position with a focus on Nb3Sn and high-temperature superconducting magnets and associated materials. The high-field superconducting magnet program at Fermilab is advancing all aspects of the technology for high-field magnets relevant to present and future accelerators. This program played a leading role in developing the first large scale applications of Nb-Ti accelerator magnets, and is a key contributor to the development of a new generation of accelerator magnets for LHC upgrades and the Future High Energy Proton-Proton Collider.
This position is a three-year, term appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance. The applicant is expected to conduct outstanding materials engineering studies of Nb3Sn and high-temperature superconducting wire of which engineering critical current density JE has recently seen significant improvement. The applicant will also contribute to design,, simulation and measurement of prototype high-field magnets, which pose a variety of interesting challenges. The results of his/her studies shall lead to presentations at technical conferences and high quality research papers published in peer review journals, and/or technical inventions and patents.
Respects, understands and values individual differences that embody the principles of diversity.
Abide by all environment, safety, and health regulations.
Qualifications and Essential Job Functions
Application Instructions
Interested candidates should submit 1) a brief cover letter, 2) curriculum vitae, and 3) a minimum of three letters of reference. Applicants should submit their material as soon as possible, as selection of candidates for interviews will begin immediately and will continue until all positions are filled.
For general information about these positions, please contact Dr. Gueorgui Velev at velev@fnal.gov.
Physical Activity and Work Conditions
HUMAN FACTORS: Mental Concentration, Sitting, Tight Work Schedule, and Visually Demanding.
CHEMICAL FACTORS: Chemicals, Epoxies, Fumes, and Solvents.
PHYSICAL FACTORS: High Magnetic Field, and Ionizing Radiation.
PPE: Eye/Face Protection, Foot Protection, and Hand Protection.
There is no legal requirement that Fermilab sponsor an employee for U.S. permanent residence. As a result, Fermilab will make the decision to sponsor an employee 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.
Diverse People, Diverse Jobs
Fermilab is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Minorities/Women/Disabled/Veterans are encouraged to apply.
