Job Descrption

The X-ray Science Division of the Advanced Photon Source (APS)  at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is offering an Assistant Physicist position to conduct research and development of the cavity-based x-ray free-electron lasers (CBXFELs) -- CBXFEL x-ray cavities in particular. CBXFELs are future fully coherent hard x-ray sources of utmost spectral brightness. The R&D will be performed in a framework of a collaborative project of ANL and SLAC (SLAC  National Accelerator Laboratory). The project is focused on demonstration of a test CBXFEL integrated into LCLS FEL at SLAC. 

The successful candidate will:

  • Play a role in development, accomplishment, and characterization of x-ray optics and x-ray diagnostics components for the CBXFEL x-ray cavity  as well as  in deployment of these components into the test CBXFEL x-ray cavity.

  • Play a role in preparation of the x-ray cavity system for the CBXFEL experiments.

  • Contribute towards the  execution of the CBXFEL test experiments at LCLS.

  • Contribute to the development of x-ray cavity alignment procedures – with application of machine learning tools in particular.

  • Contribute to R&D activities for realization of  the real full fledged CBXFELs (beyond the test device).

  • Document research results; present them at meetings and conferences; and  publish research results in the refereed journals and conference proceedings.

Position Requirements

  • Bachelors + 5yrs, Masters +3yrs, PhD + 0yrs required, PhD in physics with 2+ years of postdoctoral experience preferred
