About this position

Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Applied Electrodynamics Group (AOT-AE) is seeking one or more postdoctoral research associates in accelerator science. The group is based at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) accelerator site in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and conducts accelerator research, design, commissioning, operations, and project support.

The successful researcher will contribute to one or more projects involving LANSCE accelerator operations and upgrades, SCORPIUS/ECSE, compact accelerators for global security and space applications, and local accelerator test stands for research and development. The work spans cutting-edge accelerator technologies, including ion and electron sources, photocathodes, radio-frequency structures, and novel particle-beam transport schemes.

Depending on the candidate’s background and project assignment, the role may involve assembling and operating accelerator hardware, troubleshooting complex experiments, analyzing experimental data, developing simulations and designs, and comparing computational results with measurements. Researchers may also engage with accelerator components, RF systems, beam dynamics, diagnostics, controls, and accelerator commissioning.

The postdoctoral researcher will work in a multidisciplinary national-laboratory environment with access to accelerator facilities and research infrastructure. Training opportunities in accelerator science are available through on-the-job development and the U.S. Particle Accelerator School. Most work takes place in laboratory or office settings, with some activities in accelerator tunnels under controlled operational conditions.

Funding details

Competitive postdoctoral salary based on the date Ph.D. requirements were completed or the degree was awarded; the starting salary for a new graduate is currently $97,000. Benefits include medical, dental and vision insurance, basic life and disability insurance, paid maternity and parental leave, 401(k) contributions, paid time off, learning opportunities and tuition assistance, wellness programs, and relocation assistance for moves from outside a 50-mile radius.

What's required

A Ph.D. in accelerator science, physics, electrical engineering, or a related field is required. Applicants must demonstrate either practical experience assembling hardware, operating complex experiments, recording and analyzing experimental data, and interpreting results, or strong simulation and design experience with comparison against experimental data. Familiarity with electrodynamics and graduate-level mechanics, strong problem-solving ability, and excellent oral and written communication skills are required. Desired qualifications include experience with accelerators, RF systems, electron or ion sources, accelerator diagnostics, accelerator design, installation and commissioning, accelerator hazards, SolidWorks or similar CAD tools, RF simulation software such as CST Studio, COMSOL, or Ansys HFSS, beam-dynamics codes such as Elegant, Parmela/Parmila, or GPT, and data-analysis or controls tools such as MATLAB, Python, LabVIEW, or IDL. An excellent publication record is preferred. Candidates must be able to obtain a Q clearance, which normally requires U.S. citizenship; additional federal access and eligibility restrictions apply. A detailed cover letter addressing all minimum and desired qualifications is required.
