Polarized Target Expert: The position requires expertise in all polarized target subsystems including:
Duties include operation and maintenance of the target system including all the subsystems, cryogenics, and optimization of polarization while the experiment is running. The target experts are responsible for keeping the target system up and running and making repairs as fast as possible when the system is not up and running. Also, the target experts are responsible for taking calibration measurements of the polarization and making online assessments of the quality of the polarization calibration. The experts must be prepared to serve as a local experts and will be on-call 24 hrs/day 7 days week. Each target expert alternates as the lead Target Expert and contact while being responsible for the full system, target polarization runs, and activities planning with the help of the SpinQuest polarized target group. To serve as Target Expert you must be proficient in operating the cryogenic system, superconducting magnet, microwaves, and NMR. You must be able to load the insert with target material and load the insert in and out of the fridge safely. You must also know how to leak check with snoop and how to use a vacuum leak checker to find leaks and determine if something is helium tight. You are responsible for coordinating and planning the target aspects of the calibration/production activities with the Run Coordinator. Requirements: Resident at Fermilab during service as local target expert. Polarized target training on the above mentioned systems is required (See D. Keller). Knowledge of LabView and slow controls will be useful. Understanding the operation of oscilloscopes, RF electronics, and cryogenics is necessary. To serve as Target Expert you will be assigned an ongoing target related project and expected to report on progress regularly. Additional information can be found here: Target Expert To qualify as a Target Expert:
Commitment: Be prepared to serve as a polarized target expert on-site as needed for the experiment. Provide what is needed by the SpinQuest Polarized Target Group. E. Diaz, V. Bandara, K. Nakano, I. Fernando, M. Farooq, A. Conover, L. Diaz |

Polarized Target Trainee: In this position you will learn about all polarized target subsystems including:
Duties include learning to operation and maintenance of the target system with the polarized target expert including all the subsystems, cryogenics, and optimization of polarization while the experiment is running. Learning from the target experts you will focus how to keeping the target system up and running and making repairs as fast as possible when the system is not operational. You will also learn how to taking calibration measurements of the polarization and making online assessments of the quality of the polarization calibration and prepare the system for production data taking. The trainee is a training position for those looking to at some point become a target expert. Target Trainees are not required to serve full time unless fulfilling a Target Helper shift. Target Trainees may take on other activities or responsibilities while training and will not be called on to take Target Expert shifts but the expectation is that eventually the Target Trainee should at some point arrange to take at least 3 Target Helper Shifts (each shift is 1 week long) and one supervised trial Target Expert Shift. At the end of this Target Expert shift you are qualified to take the Target Expert Walkthrough Exam (see D. Keller) to become a qualified Target Expert. Requirements: Resident close to Fermilab. Knowledge of LabView and experience with cryogenics will be useful but not required. Understanding the operation of oscilloscopes, RF electronics, and cryogenics is necessary. Ability to communicate clearly both written and orally. See Target Expert information above for additional information. J. Roberts, D. Seay, S. Abidi, H. Hader, H. Sirilal, C. Kuruppa, N.
