CLASSE (Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education) has an opening for a Research Associate position in the SRF (Superconducting Radio Frequency) Group. Cornell’s SRF Group conducts a wide variety of fundamental SRF science and technology R&D activities, and currently supports two SRF driven accelerators at CLASSE: the Cornell Electron Storage Ring CESR, and CBETA, a novel Energy-Recovery-Linac test accelerator. This is an initial 3-year appointment with expectation for renewal, subject to mutual satisfaction and availability of funds. Qualifications: This position requires a doctoral degree in physics or applied physics, with experience in SRF operation and research. Applicants should have demonstrated experience in at least one of the following areas (multiple areas will be considered definite assets): SRF cavity fabrication, preparation, cryogenic testing, and data analysis; SRF technology design, fabrication, commissioning, and operation; RF simulations and measurements; RF technology, LLRF and microphonics control for SRF accelerators. Strong written and verbal communication skills as well as the ability to work independently and in a diverse team are expected. Responsibilities: The successful candidate’s focus will be on (1) the development, commissioning, operation, and optimization of RF and SRF accelerator systems for CESR, with ample opportunities for cutting-edge research and career development, and (2) on conducting and leading fundamental SRF research activities, including the development of stand-alone compact SRF modules based on next-generation Nb3Sn SRF cavities. How to Apply: Applications should be submitted at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/16713 and should include a cover letter, a CV, a list of publications, and a detailed summary of research experience and interests. Applicants must arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation uploaded, as per instructions on the academicjobsonline website.

ApplicationThe Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based ScienceS and Education (CLASSE) studies particle beams and accelerators, photon science, particle physics and the early universe, and serves students, the public and scientists from Cornell and around the world. The research missions of this laboratory are, in many respects, unique in the world. The Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, or CHESS, is a subdivision of CLASSE that provides high intensity x-ray beams to students and scientists from virtually all areas of the physical sciences for both basic and applied research. CHESS has an opening within its technical support team for a Programmer Analyst III. CHESS staff provide technical support to visiting researchers and also maintain and upgrade the experimental facilities. Responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to:
- Propose, plan, and execute improvements to software and software infrastructure for collecting and managing x-ray data obtained at CHESS.
- Manage revision control for large and small software projects relating to conducting experiments, to make optimal use of beta tests, bug fixes, and improvements to software by CHESS staff members and users.
- Contribute to the maintenance, development, and improvement of experimental facilities.
- Develop control & communication software for new hardware, such as detectors, actuators, and sensors.
- Assist in the planning and execution of experiments & projects proposed by the user community.
- Build and maintain collaborative relationships with staff and teams.
- Contribute to the culture and practice of laboratory safety
