Postdoctoral or Research Associate (Photocathode Scientist) Cornell University Accelerator Lab
The Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) seeks a photocathode researcher to work on photocathode materials for high brightness photoemission electron sources. A Ph.D. in physics, material science, or chemistry is required. The position is either Postdoctoral Associate or Research Associate, depending on the applicant?s qualifications and experience. Strong candidates with an additional postdoctoral experience of 1-3 years will be considered for the Research Associate appointment. The successful candidate will play a key role in establishing the dedicated photocathode laboratory and will conduct research aimed at understanding the physics of high quantum efficiency photocathodes suitable for production of ultra-bright electron beams, their design, characterization, as well as operation in a high performance accelerator environment. Applicants should have extensive experience with UHV systems and be well-versed with surface analyzing techniques. Some hands-on experience with lasers and familiarity with basics of accelerator physics are desirable. Located on campus of a premier Ivy League Research University, CLASSE has a long history of excellence in various aspects of accelerator-related sciences and technology. The research will be conducted using cutting-edge tools available at CLASSE, with access to state-of-the-art facilities at Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR), Cornell Nanoscale Science & Technology Facility (CNF), and Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). The initial Postdoctoral Associate appointment will be for one year, with expectation of renewal for an additional two years. The initial Research Associate appointment will be for three years, with possibility for extension. Please provide application and arrange to have at least three letters of reference sent to: Prof. Ivan Bazarov, Chair, Photocathode Scientist Search Committee, Newman Laboratory, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 USA. Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vita, a publication list, and a detailed summary of research experience and interests. Electronic submissions and inquiries may be addressed to search-CLASSE@cornell.edu. Cornell is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
