Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is the building site for the ElectronIon Collider (EIC) a oneofakind nuclear physics research facility. The EIC will be a discovery machine for unlocking the secrets of the glue that binds the building blocks of visible matter in the universe. The machine design is based on the existing and highly optimized RHIC IonIon collider. It will consist of two intersecting accelerators one producing an intense beam of electrons the other a beam of protons or heavier atomic nuclei which are steered into collisions. Beyond sparking scientific discoveries in a new frontier of fundamental physics the ElectronIon Collider will trigger technological breakthroughs that have broadranging impact on human health and national challenges.
Position Description
This position is for a seasoned electron polarization expert to optimize polarized electron transport and storage in the EIC complex. Electron polarization is a key feature of the ElectronIon Collider and absolutely crucial for a large fraction of the physics program. The required degree of polarization is very high 70 percent) which requires careful analysis and optimization of the machine design.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Provide reliable estimates of electron polarization in the electron storage ring (ESR).
Optimize orbit bumps and use other tuning knobs to optimize polarization in the ESR.
Perform aforesaid tasks with minimal oversite and regularly report on progress.
Transfer expertise.
Required Knowledge Skills and Abilities:
PhD in Physics or related discipline.
At least ten 10 years of related work experience with demonstrated expertise in electron polarization.
Expertise in all requisite computer codes such as MAD SLIM BMAD.
Excellent understanding of radiative polarization in general.
Preferred Knowledge Skills and Abilities:
Excellent understanding of general accelerator physics.
Other Information:
This is a 2year term position.
Brookhaven Laboratory is committed to providing fair equitable and competitive compensation. The full salary range for this position is $152700 $253500 / year. Salary offers will be commensurate with the final candidates qualification education and experience and considered with the internal peer group.
