The Fundamental Interactions and Particles (FIP) Directorate leads and supports discovery-based, innovation-driven research at the frontiers of the subatomic world. We are world-leading in nuclear physics research that serves international scientific communities. We are building the Electron-Ion Collider, a unique high-luminosity polarized collider that will unlock the secrets of the strongest force in Nature. We play a leading role in global particle physics programs to understand the world of elementary particles and their interactions and expand our understanding of the cosmos. Our pursuit of this fundamental and discovery research yields scientific and technological breakthroughs that benefit society.
Position Description
The Associate Project Manager for Collider leads the planning, execution, and delivery of approximately $1B in assigned Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) project scope, including the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR), Electron Storage Ring (ESR), Global Systems, Superconducting Magnets, and Collider Integration. Reporting to the EIC Project Manager, this individual is accountable for delivering the assigned scope within the approved cost and schedule baselines while meeting technical performance, quality, and environmental, safety, and health requirements.
The Associate Project Manager directs and integrates activities across engineering design, procurement, fabrication, installation, and hardware testing.
