Postdoctoral Research Associate - Accelerator Physics
Brookhaven National Laboratory invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the NSLS-II Accelerator Physics Division. The role focuses on theoretical and computational studies of beam dynamics to enhance ultra‑low emittance synchrotron light sources.
Position Description The NSLS-II Accelerator Physics Division seeks a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to beam dynamics studies for ultra‑low emittance synchrotron light sources. The appointment is for a 2‑year term.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Investigate the interplay between scattering effects and other collective effects to determine beam intensity and lifetime limits.
Implement theoretical models into accelerator physics simulation codes and perform large‑scale HPC simulations.
Propose and evaluate theoretical strategies to mitigate collective effects, providing recommendations to lattice design experts for NSLS‑II upgrade optimization.
Assist with preparation for benchmarking experiments at NSLS‑II and collaborations with other storage ring facilities.
Give presentations and report ongoing work.
Present technical papers at conferences and publish in scientific journals.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
Ph.D. degree in Physics or a related discipline with a concentration in accelerators or electrodynamics.
Strong background in particle beam dynamics, collective effects, or plasma physics.
Demonstrated experience in analytical modeling and numerical simulations.
Proficiency in scientific computation.
Strong communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative research environment.
Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
Knowledge of collective effects in storage rings.
Working knowledge of particle tracking codes such as ELEGANT, MAD‑X, and Accelerator Toolbox.
Working knowledge of the MATLAB and Python programming languages.
Other Information
Work arrangement: On‑site
Salary range: $71,900 – $88,000 per year.
Equal Opportunity Statement Brookhaven Science Associates is an equal opportunity employer that values inclusion and diversity. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without discrimination.
