The Center for Accelerator Science and Education (CASE) will pursue cutting edge accelerator
science and R&D training of next generation accelerator scientists - graduate and
post doctoral – through courses, laboratory and experiments on accelerators. Undergraduate
opportunities will play a significant goal of attracting students to the graduate
program through introduction to accelerator courses, accelerator laboratory work and
summer research opportunities at BNL. The proposed educational program will start
with a short term abbreviated educational program of undergraduate, graduate and R&D
that will evolve over time. Office of Brookhaven National Laboratory Affairs - Joint Initiatives

CASE News
CASE (SBU & BNL), in collaboration with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), have established the Ernest Courant Traineeship in Accelerator Science & Engineering funded by High Energy Physics office of the US Department of Energy. Students in the traineeship program who complete the necessary courses (12 or more credits in accelerator science and engineering) will be issued a Certificate in Accelerator Science and Engineering. This traineeship is available for all students independent of citizenship but funds provided by this DoE award only can be used to provide two years of full support for students who are US citizens or US permanent residents. If you are interested in joining this traineeship contact one of SBU professors listed below: V. Litvinenko, T. Hemmick, N. Vafaei-Najafabadi (Department of Physics and Astronomy), J. Longtin (Department of Mechanical Engineering), T. Robertazzi , J. Parekh and J. Liu (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering)
You can find articles celebrating incredible scientific life of Ernest Courant at "Happy 100th Birthday to Ernest Courant" and APS: Ernest Courant.

Career Opportunities
TENURE TRACK FACULTY POSITION IN ACCELERATOR PHYSICS
Location: Stony Brook University
Open Date: Sep 05, 2024
Deadline: Nov 18, 2024 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time
The Department of Physics & Astronomy at Stony Brook University invites applications for a Tenure Track Assistant Professor faculty position in accelerator physics. Applicants in all areas of accelerator physics are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will join the accelerator physics group in the Physics & Astronomy department, which engages in a wide variety of research activities covering topics in conventional and advanced accelerator physics. The current research focus of our faculty includes the coherent electron cooling (CeC) of hadron beams, development of superconducting RF cavities, and laser- and beam-driven plasma-based particle acceleration. This research is carried out in collaboration with national research facilities, primarily the nearby Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), but also with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory amongst others. While pursuing their independent research goals, the successful applicant will be expected to join and strengthen the Stony Brook accelerator physics group by complementing this research effort. Candidates working on advancing accelerator physics for future colliders such as the Electron Ion Collider, which will be housed at BNL, Higgs factories, or 10 TeV pCM energy colliders are particularly encouraged to apply.
