Research Associate (Accelerator Scientist)

The Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator ScienceS? and Education (CLASSE) has an opening for a Research Associate to work on a range of topics involving photoemission electron guns and high power electron injectors for Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) based x-ray sources. Our activities cover research on lasers, photocathode physics, and high power electron beam generation and characterization.

Research Associates generally participate in several of the above activities. This is a 3-year appointment with expectation for renewal, subject to mutual satisfaction and availability of funds. A Ph.D. in Physics or Engineering is required with related experience in one or more of the following areas: accelerator physics, controls and feedback systems, and electron beam diagnostics.

As an Ivy League University, Cornell provides an intellectually stimulating research environment with opportunities to work with undergraduate and graduate students. We also maintain strong collaborations with a number of national and international laboratories.

Applications should be submitted at http://academicjobsonline.org/ (posting 1499) and should include a cover letter, a CV, a list of publications, a detailed summary of research experience and interests. Applicants must arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation from individuals who have detailed, relevant knowledge of the candidate uploaded, as per instructions on the academicjobsonline website. For information about the position, contact Dr. Bruce Dunham at bmd29@cornell.edu.

Cornell University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action educator and employer.

Research Associate

The Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) has an opening for an accelerator physicist (Research Associate) to participate in the CESR Test Accelerator (CesrTA?) project. The Cornell Electron Storage Ring has been instrumented for the study of beam physics peculiar to a linear collider damping ring, including electron cloud phenomena, intra-beam scattering, and ion effects. We are developing techniques for identifying and eliminating sources of emittance dilution and instruments for monitoring the size of a single bunch on a single pass. The successful candidate will participate in development of instrumentation for the CESR test accelerator, collection of data during machine study periods, analysis of data, and simulation and modeling of the physics. A Ph.D. in physics or engineering is required and some experience with charged particle beam physics is desirable.

The initial appointment is for two years with possibility for extension.

Applications should be submitted at http://academicjobsonline.org/ (posting number 1390) and should include a cover letter, a CV, a list of publications, a statement of research interests, and three letters of recommendation. All materials, including all letters of recommendation, must be received by March 1, 2012. Complete applications will be considered immediately. For information about the position, contact Prof. David Rubin at dlr10@cornell.edu.

Assistant Professor

The Department of Physics at Cornell University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment in experimental physics. We encourage applications in experimental particle physics, accelerator physics, and astrophysics. Candidates should complement the existing research program in the Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics; expanding the LHC component of the laboratory program is not a priority of this search. The search will focus at the assistant professor level, although more senior candidates may be considered. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct an outstanding research program and be an effective teacher in the undergraduate and graduate instructional program of the Physics Department.

Please send the application, including a curriculum vita, a publication list, and a statement of research interests, to http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/1299. Applicants should arrange to have three letters of reference sent to the same address. Applications completed by Jan. 31, 2012 will receive full consideration. Cornell University is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer and Educator.
