Physicist (S-3) - RF (JH5334) - (Project Appointment) - Requires a PhD in electrical engineering or physics and a minimum of ten (10) years experience in the design, analysis and troubleshooting of high power RF systems. Experience with high power RF amplifiers and high voltage supplies is required. Candidates should have experience with RF systems for particle accelerators, in particular RF cavities, RF feedback and cavity frequency tuner loops. Excellent communication skills and the ability to develop detailed technical specifications and procedures are required. The candidate must have working knowledge of system analysis tools such as Pspice, MatLAB or equivalent. Experience with RF cavity finite element design tools such as Microwave Studio or Superfish is preferred. Demonstrated ability with test and measurement equipment, in particular network and spectrum analyzers, is required. The NSLS-II RF group is responsible for the development of RF systems for a 3 GHz s-band linac, 500 MHz normal conducting cavity system for booster synchrotron and superconducting cavity systems for the storage ring. The selected candidateÆs responsibilities will include analysis, design, specification, procurement, installation and commissioning of a broad range of RF systems for the NSLS-II complex, for example a 500MHz normal conducting 5-cell cavity fed from 80 kW inductive-output-tube (IOT) amplifier and 2 to 4 super-conducting cavities powered from ~ 300kW transmitters comprised of combined IOTÆs or klystron amplifiers as well as the design and fabrication of a passive 1500 MHz SCRF cavity. In addition to the analysis and design of high power RF systems, due to the small size of the RF group there will be significant overlap into the low level RF infrastructure and timing systems. The selected candidate will work closely with the accelerator physics and engineering groups in the integration of the RF systems into the accelerator complex. National Synchrotron Light Source-II. Job No. 14613. Log in to the Candidate Gateway to apply for this position.
