Applications are invited for a research associate is sought to participate in the development of a high power RF test bunker for particle accelerators. The post will be based at Daresbury Laboratory and belonging to the Engineering Department of Lancaster University and the Cockcroft Institute of Accelerator Science and Technology.

The PDRA will join the internationally recognised group of RF engineers working on particle accelerators. The post will involve the experimental testing of high gradient RF cavities, and the construction and commissioning of the test bunker, including low-level RF system development, HPRF conditioning of the klystrons, and data acquisition systems. The post will additionally cover the development of RF synchronisation systems for accelerators.

Travel to collaborating labs may be required as part of this post.

You will join us on an indefinite contract however, the role remains contingent on external funding which, at this time is for 24 months.
