** The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a state-of-the-art synchrotron facility that produces high-brightness X-rays for cutting-edge scientific research. The Accelerator Physics Division at NSLS-II drives innovation in beam dynamics and accelerator technologies to enhance the performance of ultra-low emittance synchrotron light sources.
** Position Description
** The NSLS-II Accelerator Physics Division is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to contribute to theoretical and computational studies of beam dynamics for ultra-low emittance synchrotron light sources. The role focuses on advancing scattering theories for realistic bunch distributions shaped by higher-harmonic RF cavities and developing integrated simulations of collective effects at high beam intensities. The appointment will be for a 2-year term.
*
* Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

*** Investigate the interplay between scattering effects and other collective effects to determine beam intensity and lifetime limits.
* Implement theoretical models into accelerator physics simulation codes and perform large-scale HPC simulations.
* Propose and evaluate theoretical strategies to mitigate collective effects, providing recommendations to lattice design experts for NSLS-II upgrade optimization.
* Assist with preparation for benchmarking experiments at NSLS-II and collaborations with other storage ring facilities.
* Give presentations and report ongoing work.
* Present technical papers at conferences and publish in scientific journals.
** Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
*** Ph.D. degree in Physics or related discipline, with a concentration in accelerators or electrodynamics.
* Strong background in particle beam dynamics, collective effects, or plasma physics.
* Demonstrated experience in analytical modeling and numerical simulations.
* Proficiency in scientific computation.
* Strong communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative research environment.
** Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
*** Knowledge of collective effects in storage rings.
* Working knowledge of particle tracking codes such as ELEGANT, MAD-X, and Accelerator Toolbox.
* Working knowledge of the MATLAB and Python programming languages.
** Other Information:
*** Work arrangement:
