  • Postdoctoral Researcher - Machine Learning for Accelerator Science (Argonne Wakefield Accelerator)

    Argonne National Laboratory 4.6company rating

    Researcher job in Lemont, IL

    Overview The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) Group in the High Energy Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory seeks a postdoctoral research associate to conduct experimental and computational research in accelerator science and technology. The focus is on developing and applying machine learning (ML) methods for accelerator operations and beam-dynamics optimization in advanced-accelerator applications. This work supports AWA's mission to enable next-generation, energy-frontier particle accelerators. The AWA portfolio spans beam-driven wakefield acceleration, generation of bright electron beams, advanced beam-manipulation for precise electron-beam shaping, and ML for accelerator science. Responsibilities * Develop and deploy ML algorithms for autonomous operations and optimization of beam dynamics, beginning with macroscopic beam control (e.g., centroid and beam size) and advancing to techniques that enhance high-power, high-frequency radiation generation via wakefield production-a key element of the two-beam acceleration concept * Emphasize Bayesian optimization approaches and integrate these methods into the facility control system * Design, execute, and analyze accelerator experiments; lead experimental campaigns and contribute to operations as needed * Shape independent research directions and collaborate to apply ML tools across AWA experiments * Document methods and results; present findings internally and at external conferences; contribute to publications Collaboration Environment * Work in close coordination with ML development teams across Argonne (including the Advanced Photon Source) and with collaborators at SLAC * Engage with a multi-lab team that includes scientists from Fermilab and Jefferson Lab Application Materials Please submit: * Research statement * Official graduate school transcript * CV (including publications and presentations) Additionally, arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to *************. This position will remain open until filled. Position Requirements * Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in field of physics-ideally in accelerator science or engineering-or a closely related field * Demonstrated experience or strong interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning, particularly for control applications * Proficiency in Python * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills * Ability to work independently and collaboratively with scientists, engineers, and technicians * Excellent written and verbal communication skills * Collaborative mindset; works effectively with internal and external partners in a transparent, collegial environment * Demonstrated ability to think independently and innovatively to develop creative solutions * Strong organizational skills and attention to detail * Ability to model Argonne's core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork Preferred Qualifications * Background in beam dynamics and electron sources * Background with wakefield acceleration techniques and diagnostics * Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow * Experience with the software stack used at AWA: PyEPICS, GitHub, NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib * Strong experimental skills, curiosity, and initiative in research projects Job Family Postdoctoral Job Profile Postdoctoral Appointee Worker Type Long-Term (Fixed Term) Time Type Full time The expected hiring range for this position is $70,758.00-$117,925.00.
