Dear Colleagues,

I would appreciate it if you could bring the following position to the
attention of any well qualified candidates.  

SCIENTIFIC STAFF POSITION - Assistant / Associate / Physicist (Laser
Scientist) (5424)  
 Job ID:  
 14849  
 
Job Duties  
 Requires a Ph.D. in physics, electrical engineering, optics or physical
chemistry.  Postdoctoral experience is preferred.  The successful
candidate should have hands-on experience with nanosecond to femtosecond
pulse length laser system operating in the kHz to 100's to MHz region.
Experience with temporal and spatial pulse shaping is also required.
Experience in the development of Ti:Sapphire and fiber laser system
highly desirable. Knowledge of commonly used electro-optical components
is required, as is the knowledge of techniques such as q-switching,
modelocking,  and harmonic generation.  The research program is the
development of short pulse lasers, including pulse shaping.  The laser
will be used in a polarized electron source for the proposed electron
collider with the RHIC beams.  The RHIC program is evolving in the
direction of a polarized electron-ion collider, which calls for the
construction of a polarized electron linac to collide with the RHIC
beams. The polarized electron source is a challenging laser driven
photocathode source. The job will require the development of a new laser
source, either of the Ti:Sapphire or fiber laser variety, aimed at 50 to
100 watts in the long visible regime. Additional tasks will include the
development of 3-D pulse shaping and laser-based diagnostics. The job
will also require hands-on operation of an existing laser for a
high-current, high-brightness electron source. A significant amount of
R&D is part of the job, with publications and conference attendance.
The level of the position will be based on the background and experience
of the selected candidate. Under the direction of I. Ben-Zvi,
Collider-Accelerator Department.  When applying for a position, please
add your references' contact and email address in the Reference box
located on the application page.  Please note that if you have applied
for multiple positions under one application, the same reference
information is attached to all those positions. If you elect to use
different referees for different positions, please apply to each
position separately.
