Commission Korea Construction Jobs (NOW HIRING)

What You Will Do
This position is open for external candidates only to apply.
The Accelerator Operations and Technology Division Applied Electrodynamics (AOT-AE) group is seeking a Scientist 2/3 to provide expertise, support, and technical leadership in all aspects of H+ and H- ion beam, physics, beamline development, optimization, operation, and diagnostics. We look for candidates with expertise in beam physics starting with the ion source, beam propagation, beam manipulation, acceleration from very low energies, and ion beam measurements. This particular position will be funded by the LANSCE Accelerator Modernization Project (LAMP) and will require the candidate to engage in experimental and developmental activities, including operation and oversight of various test stands associated with LAMP.
This position will be filled at either the Scientist 2 or Scientist 3 level, depending on the skills of the selected candidate. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if the candidate is hired at the higher level.
Scientist 2 ($106,400 - $176,000):
The selected Scientist 2 will provide expertise, support, and technical leadership in one or more of the following areas:

• Design, construction, and operation of ion accelerators incorporating H+ or H- ion sources, radiofrequency quadrupoles, drift-tube linacs, and RF accelerating structures.
• Design, construction and operation of test stands of relevance to LAMP project, such as the radiofrequency-quadrupole test stand (RFQTS);
• Design, construction and operation of test stands of relevance to LAMP project, such as the LAMP in the ADEF Tunnel (LAT) demonstration test stand;
• Development of ion beam diagnostics for the relevant test stands.

Scientist 3 ($128,000 - $215,900):
The selected Scientist 3 will provide expertise, support, and technical leadership in one or more of the following areas:

• Working with computational scientists on developing understanding of the ion beam dynamics in ion accelerator test stands;
• Development of new projects and leading proposals in their area of expertise.

What You Need
Minimum Job Requirements:

• Demonstrated experience in operation of ion sources, ion source test facilities, and/or ion beam accelerator facilities similar to those required to demonstrate key operating parameters of the LAMP ion source.
• Demonstrated experience in using ion beam diagnostics.
• Demonstrated success in meeting or exceeding the expectations of customers and stakeholders in a research organization focused on particle accelerators and in meeting commitments and deliverables.
• Demonstrated excellence in oral and written communication skills, with both internal and external collaborators and sponsors.

Additional Job Requirements for Scientist 3 level:

• Demonstrated ability to design, commission, and operate ion accelerator systems.
• Demonstrated experience in designing, commissioning, and operation of the ion beam diagnostics
• Demonstrated ability to develop technical programs in partnership with others.

Education/Experience at Level 2: Position requires a Bachelor's degree in a STEM field from an accredited college or university and 4 years of relevant experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience directly related to the occupation. Preference will be given to candidates with a Master's or a PhD degrees.

Education/Experience at Level 3: Position requires a Master's degree in a STEM field from an accredited college or university and 6 years of relevant experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience directly related to the occupation. Preference will be given to candidates with a PhD degree.
Desired Qualifications:

• Demonstrated ability to successfully manage, either directly or matrixed, a small group of scientists, engineers, technologists and technicians.
• Demonstrated ability to manage budget for a research project.
• Demonstrated success in setting priorities for and leading efficient, graded implementation of safety, security and safeguards, environmental management, and other core Laboratory business requirements.
• A current Q clearance, or the ability to obtain such, which normally requires U.S. citizenship.
