** Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to employee success and we believe that a comprehensive employee benefits program is an important and meaningful part of the compensation employees receive. Review more information at
**** Organization Overview:
** The mission of the Collider-Accelerator Department (C-AD) is to operate, maintain, improve, and upgrade the suite of electron, proton, and heavy ion accelerators used to carry out a program of accelerator-based experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). To support this program, the C-AD must design, fabricate, assemble, test, install, and operate unique research equipment to generate, transport, transfer, accelerate, focus, track, collide, and absorb high intensity particle beams up to energies of 250 GeV.  

This includes a combination of custom designed and built parts and vendor produced components developed by a collaboration of the C-AD scientific, engineering, and technical staff. The C-AD supports an international user community of over 1,500 scientists. The C-AD performs all these functions in an environmentally-responsible and safe manner, under a rigorous conduct of operations approach.
** Position Description
** The Collider-Accelerator Department Injectors Group is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to contribute to the spin transport of polarized helions in the Booster Synchrotron and the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) in support of the future Electron Ion Collider. Polarized helions are new to the C-AD injector complex and will be the first new polarized species since polarized protons were introduced over 30 years ago.

This position has a high level of interaction with an international and multicultural scientific community.
