Job Description
Introduction
Are you a qualified and highly motivated physicist with experience in the simulation of the radiation interaction with matter Join a diverse team of physicists and engineers and play a leading role in the Future Circular Collider (FCC) design.
You will join the Accelerator Systems Department (SY) which is responsible for the beamrelated technical systems of the CERN accelerators. The SY teams design build and operate equipment systems in all CERN accelerators and are engaged in ambitious forwardlooking R&D programmes.
Functions
As an Applied Physicist you will address some of the outstanding aspects of the accelerator systems design for the FCC electronpositron collider and highenergy booster.
You will:
- Contribute to the design of the collimation system by conceiving executing and leading particle shower Monte Carlo studies in collaboration with accelerator beam physicists and mechanical engineers;
- Develop an effective shielding solution for the synchrotron radiation of the collider and booster rings assuring a suitable reduction of the radiation levels all along the tunnel;
- Maintain and improve the machine models contributing to the improvement of the Monte Carlo simulation tools;
- Supervise graduates and students performing related FCC calculations and document results;
- Collaborate on R&D activities within CERN and participate in international collaborations.
Qualifications :
PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of nuclear physics or engineering particle physics or a related field.
Experience:
Required experience in the following:
- Field of particlematter interactions and their effects;
- Monte Carlo simulation of particle showers in complex geometries and in calculation and benchmarking of relevant macroscopic quantities such as absorbed dose and particle fluence;
- Characterization of the radiation environment in accelerators.
Technical competencies:
- Simulation design and development of (part of) particle accelerators;
- Simulation of radiation environments;
- Knowledge and application of electromagnetic radiation propagation and interaction with matter;
- Knowledge and application of computational and mathematical physics;
- Analysis and optimization of accelerator performance.
Behavioural competencies:
- Working in teams: building and maintaining constructive and effective work relationships; sharing and letting others participate in own work/project; encouraging team development.
- Demonstrating flexibility: actively participating in the implementation of new processes and technologies; demonstrating willingness to alter views when presented with new information.
- Achieving results: defining clear objectives milestones and deliverables before initiating work/ project objectively assessing and monitoring own work; regularly reporting on progress and advising of any changes in schedule or priorities.
- Solving problems: assimilating large quantities of information identifying key issues and formulating conclusions clearly and concisely; being open to original ideas and creative options by which to address issues; continually driving change by seeking new ways to improve outcomes.
- Learning and sharing knowledge: creating or participating in forums to exchange experience comparing techniques and learn from others; proposing ways to improve or streamline existing procedures processes and methodologies.
Language skills:
Spoken and written English or French: ability to understand and speak the other language in professional contexts. Ability to drawup technical specifications and/or scientific reports and to make oral presentations in at least one of the two languages.
