Postdoctoral Appointee - Free-Electron Lasers Driven by Laser-Plasma Accelerators

The Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to the theoretical and numerical modeling of a compact X-ray free-electron laser driven by an electron beam produced by a laser plasma accelerator. The selected candidate will collaborate with the experimental team at BELLA lab to develop detailed simulations of beam transport and diagnostic measurements, optimizing FEL performance. This role involves working with a multi-disciplinary team across multiple institutions to advance research in accelerator physics and radiation generation.
