Berkeley, CA | United States


Job description

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's ( LBNL ) Accelerator Technology and Applied Physics (ATAP) Division has an opening for a Physicist Postdoctoral Scholar to join the team.


This position will work in the Berkeley Accelerator Controls and Instrumentation (BACI) program at the Accelerator Technology & Applied Physics (ATAP) Division to develop adaptive feedback control and instrumentations using physics-informed machine learning (ML) for compact accelerators. Work will include operation and experiments using the High Repetition-rate Electron Scattering (HiRES) compact ultra-fast electron diffraction (UED) beamline.


This role will be responsible for operating HiRES for experiments as well as utilizing HiRES as an accelerator physics research tool for the development of physics-informed and physics-constrained ML tools. The work will require operating the HiRES UED and simulating electron beam dynamics within HiRES, and develop advanced controls and diagnostics and novel ML tools that incorporate physics constraints in order to speed up computationally intensive electrodynamics simulations and for optimization, non-invasive diagnostics, and adaptive control for intense charged particle beams.
