Open Date: 03/07/2016
Close Date: 04/07/2016
Description
Expertise is required in the design, construction, commissioning and operation of cryogenic experimental systems, particularly systems that operate below 1-degree Kelvin. Present projects would include the SuperCDMS SNOLAB (Cryogenic Dark Matter Search) experiment, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) research program, and the sub-Kelvin R&D program including Microwave Kinetic Induction Detector (MKID) technologies. In the longer term, engagement in the broader Fermilab research program reliant on liquid argon and liquid xenon technologies is also anticipated.

Respects, understands and values individual differences that embody the principles of diversity.
Abide by all environment, safety, and health regulations.
Responsibilities will include
· Leading participation in the design, construction, commissioning and operation of the SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment, the CMB research program, and a sub-Kelvin R&D program.
· Specification and operation of dilution and adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration systems.
· Expertise in the design of conduction-cooling and thermal isolation of cryogenic apparatus in the sub-Kelvin range.
· Design and development of detailed thermal radiation shielding models of complex systems, and validating them with measurements.
· Design and operation of large and complex high-vacuum systems as part of experimental apparatus.
· Design, construction and commissioning of cryogenic detectors and arrays, including bolometers, MKIDs and heterodyne mixers.
· Design, construction, and commissioning of cryostat components, working knowledge of DC and RF electronics including cryogenic cabling, SQUIDs, transistor amplifiers and device packaging.
· Design, construction and commissioning of cryogenic equipment and associated support equipment.
· Work with physicists and electronics engineers on minimizing the impacts of electrical noise and vibrations on detector systems.
· System engineering, subsystem definition and documentation.
· Preparation and defense of safety documents involving pressure containment, ODH, and other topics.
· Service on peer review safety committees.
Qualifications and Essential Job Functions
· PhD in Astronomy or Physics, 3-8 years of postdoctoral experience in the field.
· Work on challenging projects that may have tight schedules.
· Ability to work as part of a team in a research and development environment.
· Willingness to travel internationally and to work in underground laboratories.
· Experience with mechanical and thermal design tools, and validation of these tools.
· Experience with analytical engineering calculations and simulation tools.
· Presentation skills for internal and at national and international workshops and also at topical conferences.
Physical Activity and Work Conditions
HUMAN FACTORS: Mental Concentration, Sitting, and Tight Work Schedule.
· Ability to travel by automobile and/or commercial air carrier domestically and internationally.
· Ability to work in underground laboratories.
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.
