We have partnered with the National Labor Exchange to provide you this information. You may be looking for part-time employment to supplement your income while you are in school. You might be looking for an internship to add experience to your resume. And you may be completing your training ready to start a new career. This site has all of those types of jobs.

Here are a few things you should know:
  • This site is mobile friendly. You do not need a log-in or password to access information.
  • Jobs on this site are original and unduplicated and come from three sources: the Federal government, state workforce agency job banks, and corporate career websites. All jobs are vetted to ensure there are no scams, training schemes, or phishing.
  • The site is refreshed daily to remove out-of-date content.
  • The newest jobs are listed first, so use the search features to match your interests. You can look for jobs in a specific geographical location, by title or keyword, or you can use the military crosswalk. You may want to do something different from your military career, but you undoubtedly have skills from that occupation that match to a civilian job.

Michigan State University(MSU) Research Associate-Fixed Term in East Lansing, Michigan

Position Summary

Major Duties/Responsibilities

The research associate will work to develop next-generation magnets such as iron-free coil-dominated superconducting quadrupoles and high-temperature superconducting dipoles. With the launch of the High Rigidity Spectrometer (HRS) project as a significant expansion on top of our experimental facilities such as the existing decay station, S800 spectrometer, beam stoppers, and Reaccelerators, you will have a potential opportunity to contribute to the development of large-acceptance high-transmission beamline quadrupole triplets/switching dipoles as well as sweeper/spectrometer dipole integrated with Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA)/Modular Neutron Array (MoNA-LISA), enhancing the capabilities of our experimental capabilities.

  • Superconducting Magnet Design and Analysis:
    • Contribute to next-generation High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) hot-cell dipole magnet development
    • Conduct thorough quench analyses and devise robust quench protection schemes, prioritizing the safety and optimal functioning of superconducting magnets
    • Participate actively in the mechanical design aspects, ensuring the integration of key engineering subcomponents for enhanced performance and durability
  • Superconducting Magnet Fabrication and Test:
    • Serve as a recognized subject matter expert in superconducting magnets, providing technical guidance and support throughout the coil winding, construction, assembly, and instrumentation process
    • Contribute hands-on expertise in coil development, including splicing, checking fiberglass prep regs, and validating cyanate ester/epoxy-based adhesive systems
    • Perform energization test, magnetic field measurement test, passive/active quench protection circuit test, cold mass alignment and thus data analysis and documentation
    • Develop comprehensive work control plans, general test procedures, and job safety plans for various activities, including pressure/leak tests, cryogenic cooling tests, energization tests, and mapping activities
    • Execute any other duties as required or assigned within the defined scope of this job classification, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to evolving project needs.
  •  

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

  • Excellent communication skills to work effectively and credibly, both verbally and in writing with all audiences
  • Experience in superconducting magnets, accelerator system components, cryogenic systems (LHe and cryocooler) and distributed control system
  • Experience with FEA of EM analysis, 1-D or 2-D quench analysis codes, and CAD
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suites
