Job Description
Your responsibilities
As an applied physicist you will join the Linear and NonLinear Optics Section (LNO) within the Accelerator and Beam Physics Group (ABP) under the Beams Department (BE) where you will be working on Magnetic and beambased Modeling in CERN synchrotrons.
For the first time in 60 years of operation it has been shown that we can develop magnetic models of the Proton Synchrotron (PS) main magnets to accurately predict changes in tune and chromaticity as energy increases.
This involved improving the magnetic model of the complex PS main magnets and refining the MADX optics models that estimate parameters based on OPERA predictions. It also required very careful setup of the optics measurements for comparison.
As an Applied Physicist you will continue this work:
- Extend the existing model to cover the eddy currents and pole face windings as well as providing data for hysteresis modelling;
- Develop and Benchmark a magnetic and optics model for the LEIR bending dipole using beam measurements;
- Depending on the progress made improve models in the AD and PSB.
Your profile
Skills
- Knowledge of magnetic modeling including dynamic effects and experience with linear and nonlinear optics measurements;
- Fluent in English.
Eligibility criteria:
- You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
- You have a professional background in Applied physicist (or a related field) and have either:
- a Masters degree with 2 to 6 years of postgraduation professional experience;
- or a PhD with no more than 3 years of postgraduation professional experience.
- You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
Additional Information :
Job closing date: 13.04.2025 at 23:59h (midnight) CET.
Contract duration: 24 months with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum.
Working hours: 40 hours per week
Job reference: BEABPLNO2024183GRAP
Field of work: Applied Physics
What we offer
- A monthly stipend ranging between 6287 and 6911 Swiss Francs per month (net of tax).

- Depending on your individual circumstances: installation grant; family child and infant allowances; payment of travel expenses at the beginning and end of contract.
- 30 days of paid leave per year.
- Onthejob and formal training at CERN as well as inhouse language courses for English and/or French.
About us
At CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the worlds largest and most complex scientific instruments they study the basic constituents of matter fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on .
