Job Description
Introduction
Are you ready to push the boundaries of particle physics and contribute to groundbreaking research Join CERN to contribute to the AWAKE experiment the worlds first protondriven plasma wakefield acceleration project and help shape the future of particle accelerators.
Within the Accelerator Systems Department the Beam Instrumentation Group (SYBI) is responsible for designing building and maintaining instruments that allow observation of particle beams and measurement of related parameters for all CERN accelerators transfer lines and secondary beam lines. This includes AWAKE CERNs pioneering protondriven plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. AWAKE uses proton beams from the Super Proton Synchrotron to create strong wakefields in a plasma cell and accelerate a witness electron beam. The second phase of AWAKE (Run 2 aims to demonstrate multiGeV electron acceleration while maintaining beam quality and scalability.
Functions
You will:
- Coordinate all Beam Instrumentation activities within the Group and serve as the BI coordinator for the AWAKE collaboration during Run 2 facilitating communication and aligning efforts between BI Group and AWAKE teams;
- Ensure all Beam Instrumentation systems are operational;
- Contribute to the design and implementation of new beam imaging systems through analysis and simulations;
- Lead R&D studies for for subpicosecond bunch length measurements collaborating with partner institutes;
- Supervise undergraduate and graduate students.
Qualifications :
PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of applied physics or engineering or a related field.
Experience:
Required experience:
- In the domain of particle interaction with matter general beam instrumentation methodologies and associated control / DAQ systems;
- Simulation design and development of optical systems preferably related to beam size and position measurements.
Desired experience:
- Use of laboratory instruments like oscilloscopes multimeters network analyzers;
- Basic knowledge of Accelerator Physics and Accelerator Technologies.
Technical competencies:
- Organisation planning and control: including supervision of work;
- Design and test of particle beam instrumentation;
- Operation and/or support of experimental facilities.
Behavioural competencies:
- Working in teams: building and maintaining constructive and effective work relationships.
- Communicating effectively: ensuring that information procedures and decisions are appropriately documented.
- Achieving results: delivering high quality work on time and fulfilling expectations.
