Research Faculty I, 12 Month Salaried - Magnet Analyst (NHMFL)

Job Title: Research Faculty I, 12 Month Salaried - Magnet Analyst (NHMFL) Location: Tallahassee, FL Regular/Temporary: Regular Full/Part Time: Full-Time Job ID: 62360 Department Magnet Science and Technology division at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Responsibilities The Magnet Science and Technology Division of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) is seeking an exceptional individual for a Research Faculty position for magnet design and system analysis. This position will primarily involve electromagnetic, structural, and thermal analysis and design of new and existing high magnetic field systems employing resistive conductors and low and / or high temperature superconductors. Specific targets as outlined in our strategic plan are a 40 T all‑superconducting magnet system and high‑field HTS inserts up to 60 T. The incumbent will be organizing and carrying out work that includes numerical simulations (COMSOL, ANSYS, Opera, FORTRAN, MatLab, C++, etc.), system and component testing, data analysis, among other tasks like providing studies and reports, which enables the department to develop a deep understanding of advanced high‑field magnet systems and successfully design and construct such magnets. Responsibilities include securing external funding through competitive grants and industry partnerships, and providing effective mentorship to students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career staff involved in the program’s research activities. It is expected that results will be presented at international conferences and published in peer‑reviewed journals. The successful candidate will be expected to manage multiple tasks and projects in parallel to successful completion within technical, budgetary, and schedule constraints and participate in proposal development. Some travel may be required. Qualifications Requirements include a Ph.D. in engineering, physics, or a related field, or equivalent qualification based on professional experience and demonstrated record of achievement in research. Experience with finite element modeling using ANSYS, COMSOL, or Opera is required. Preferred Qualifications We are seeking a candidate who is highly motivated and eager to work flexibly and creatively in a multi‑disciplinary team environment developing a deep understanding of new technologies and specific magnets. Good communication skills and the ability to interact constructively with physicists, engineers, designers, technicians, and procurement personnel are essential. Candidates should have at least two years of previous experience in numerical modeling of superconducting magnets. A strong background in the fields of cryogenics, superconducting materials, magnets and their design, especially HTS magnets is preferred. Familiarity with the general properties and issues of REBCO superconductors is preferred. The candidate should have demonstrated success in either developing new magnet technologies or novel modeling of superconducting magnets and systems.
