  A connection between the gauge fixed dynamics of protected operators in
superconformal Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions and Calogero systems is
established. This connection generalizes the free Fermion description of the
chiral primary operators of the gauge theory formed out of a single complex
scalar to more general operators. In particular, a detailed analysis of
protected operators charged under an su(1|1)contained in psu(2,2|4) is carried
out and a class of operators is identified, whose dynamics is described by the
rational super-Calogero model. These results are generalized to arbitrary BPS
operators charged under an su(2|3) of the superconformal algebra. Analysis of
the non-local symmetries of the super-Calogero model is also carried out, and
it is shown that symmetry for a large class of protected operators is a
contraction of the corresponding Yangian algebra to a loop algebra.
