What is the difference between Full Time Accelerator Physics vs Accelerator Technician?

AspectFull Time Accelerator PhysicsAccelerator Technician
Required CredentialsAdvanced degree in physics or related field, specialized knowledge in accelerator scienceTechnical diploma or associate degree, hands-on technical training
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, university facilities, large-scale acceleratorsOperational facilities, maintenance areas, technical support settings
Employer & Industry UsageResearch institutions, universities, government labsAccelerator facilities, industrial research centers
Common Search & ComparisonOften compared for research roles and advanced physics careersCompared for technical support and operational roles

Full Time Accelerator Physics involves advanced research, theoretical work, and designing accelerators, requiring higher education. In contrast, Accelerator Technicians focus on maintaining and operating accelerators, with more technical and hands-on responsibilities. Both roles are essential in the accelerator industry but differ in education, scope, and daily tasks.

Postdoctoral Appointee - mmWave Wakefield Accelerator Development

Argonne National Laboratory

Lemont, IL • On-site

$70K - $117K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 24 days ago

Job description

Argonne National Laboratory's Accelerator Science Division is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to contribute to the development of a Sub- THz Collinear Structural Wakefield Accelerator. This exciting project focuses on further development of beam position monitoring structures and high gradient testing of components.

They will play a key role in designing, fabricating, and testing advanced accelerator structures, as well as conducting beam-based experiments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist in the design and testing of beam diagnostic device operating at mmWave frequencies.

  • Assist in conducting beam-based experiments, including accelerating gradient tests and breakdown studies of accelerating components.

  • Collaborate with the APS/ASD mechanical engineering group on the fabrication of accelerator components.

  • Work closely with a beam diagnostics physicist and controls group engineer to install and optimize diagnostic systems.

  • Develop and integrate mmWave diagnostics equipment for beam position monitoring and gradient tests.

  • Participate in training opportunities, including attending the US Particle Accelerator School (USPAS).

Position Requirements

  • PhD completed in the past 5 years or soon to complete it in Physics with a focus on accelerator physics, or Electrical Engineering with a focus on RF/Accelerator Physics

  • Strong background in accelerator physics and beam diagnostics.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to present research findings.

  • Interpersonal skills, oral and written communication skills, and ability to interact with people at all levels both within and outside the laboratory.

  • Ability to model Argonne's core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork.

Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Experience

  • Experience with THz or mmWave instrumentation and measurements.

  • Familiarity with high-gradient acceleration and wakefield accelerator concepts.
