Hey, all the employment threads here got me to thinking. I operate a continuous electron beam accelerator, called CEBAF, at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.

Well, a new hire in my group just quit yesterday as he decided he liked teaching more than working. So, it looks like my boss will be looking for a replacement soon. Operating the machine is fun and challenging most of the time, and only 70% of our time is spent doing that. The other 30% is spent doing project work. My project work is assisting with the ACE Team (accelerator computing environment) where I get to do PC and Unix work. This is excellent for my resume. There are other areas of endeavor one can pursue if the ACE Team isn't for you. Many of my coworkers are programmers, some do RF and/or elecrtronics engineering work. One person even does target design work with the theortical physicists over in the Test Lab. As you can see the sky's the limit.
Does this interest you? Do you think you might be qualified? If so, you can PM me with your credentials and/or your resume and I can let you know how it looks. My boss likes technical ex-military types who did some form of watchstanding (ex Navy nukes are his favorite). A BS in engineering, engineering tech, physics, and math are also very beneficial. If you are qualified and desire for me to do so, I'll submit your resume to my manager.
I can't make any promises but he does ask us for any candidates we might know of. So you never know. Thanks for reading. :beer:
ps - if you have any specific questions about my work, the working conditions, or scheduling just post them here. I'll answer to the best of my ability.
