Job Description
Your responsibilities
As an Applied Physicist you will join the Non-Linear Dynamics and Collimation Section within the Accelerator and Beam Physics Group (ABP) under the Beams Department (BE) where you will work on Collimation and Machine-Detector Interface (MDI) studies contributing directly to the design of the Future Circular Electron Positron Collider (FCC-ee).
In this position you will:
- Help improve the initial design of the FCC-ee collimation system to ensure the safe disposal of all predicted realistic beam losses and minimise background for experiments.
- Conduct collimation performance and MDI studies for various beam loss processes as well as iterations on the collimation system design.
- Improve existing simulation codes to assess the collimation performance in lepton machines.
- Collaborate with internal and external teams providing inputs on beam losses for collimator design and detector background studies.
- Participate in beam measurements in running machines like Super KEKB in Japan or the LHC and look for opportunities to apply this knowledge for additional experience and code benchmarking.
Your profile
Skills:
- Basic knowledge of Accelerator Physics;
- Knowledge of simulation tools like X-suite Mad-X and/or Geant4 and their coupling to beam dynamics codes would be an asset;
- Familiarity with tools for beam dynamics and particle-matter interaction;
- Knowledge of Programming in Python would be an asset;
- Spoken and written English or French with a commitment to learn the basics of the other language.
Eligibility criteria:
- You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
- You have a professional background in Applied Physics (or a related field) and have either:
- a Masters degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
- or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
- You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.

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 .
