International Linear Collider PostDoc positions

PostDoc Positions in Accelerator Physics

SLAC Division: Linear Collider, Particle and Particle Astrophysics (PPA) Division.

There are positions for:

Experimental Studies of the Electron Cloud Instability and Formation

Beam Collimator Development for the LHC

These are two-year academic appointments, renewable for a third year, conducting original research under the guidance of the Stanford Faculty. A Ph.D. in physics or engineering is required. SLAC is an equal opportunity employer.

International Linear Collider Department: The Accelerator Physics group in the Linear Collider (LC) department, at the Stanford linear Accelerator Center SLAC, is responsible for accelerator physics in LC. SLAC is one of the leaders of the worldwide collaboration for the design of a future International Linear Collider. Postdoctoral research positions are now open at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Research areas include the physics of Linear Colliders and damping rings, high-gradient acceleration, to produce electron and positron beams colliding at 1TeV cm energy with very low emittances to reach high Luminosity. Specific research topics underway span the range of beam physics issues and engineering disciplines essential to the development of a future Linear Collider and advanced accelerators:
