Competition # 571Postdoc - Superconducting RFTRIUMF has world recognized expertise in a wide variety of accelerator technologies from high intensity beam dynamics, to high power targets and ion sources, to remote handling engineering, to superconducting radio frequency acceleration. Our staff designed and assembled all of its operating accelerators including a 40MV heavy ion superconducting linac and a 30MV superconducting electron linac. Our infrastructure, unique in Canada, supports SRF R&D including clean rooms, cavity testing cryostats, chemical etching and high pressure rinsing facilities, rf induction oven and rf infrastructure. We are also home to unique material science diagnostic probes in the muSR and betaNMR facilities. Currently, our SRF/RF Department has an immediate opening for a newly graduated rf engineer/physicist who will be responsible for NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council) funded Superconducting RF (SRF) research and development. This postdoctoral position is grant funded and offered for a two year term. The primary duties include:
Minimum qualifications: Our ideal candidate will have a recent PhD in electrical engineering, engineering physics, or a related field with experience in superconducting rf. Experience in any of the following areas will be considered definite assets: fundamental SRF, cavity testing, condensed matter probes, and electro-magnetic modeling capability. The ability to troubleshoot SRF systems, design SRF cavities, conduct research and provide mentoring for students. Good communication skills and planning abilities, technical writing skills, and the ability to work effectively as a productive team player are also of high importance. We offer:
