About this position
Argonne National Laboratory is recruiting a Postdoctoral Appointee in AI/ML for Particle Accelerators at the Accelerator Operations and Physics (AOP) Group within the Accelerator Systems Division (ASD) of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) in Lemont, Illinois, USA.
The project focuses on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced computational methods for the analysis, tuning, control, and diagnosis of particle beams and accelerator systems. The successful candidate will work on methods for the APS injector and the newly upgraded APS storage ring, with a particular emphasis on exploring LLMs and agentic AI to support intelligent system analysis, operator decision-making, workflow automation, machine tuning, diagnostics, and fault response. Experimental work will be carried out on the APS injector accelerator complex and APS storage ring to test and evaluate the methods.
This is a full-time postdoctoral position with an expected hiring range of $72,879-$121,465 and comprehensive employee benefits. The post is best suited to candidates with a recently completed or soon-to-be completed PhD in accelerator physics or a related field. Applicants from physical sciences, mathematics, computer science, or electrical engineering are also welcome if they have interest in accelerator physics.
Required preparation includes strong programming skills, Python proficiency, and working knowledge of UNIX/Linux. Preferred experience includes machine learning, accelerator operation, complex algorithms, computing clusters for simulation and data analysis, and accelerator modeling/simulation tools such as Elegant and Cheetah, plus familiarity with SDDS, Tcl/Tk, and Linux scripting.
Applications should be submitted through the Argonne Careers Workday portal using the posting link. For help or accommodations, applicants may contact [email protected].
