Zusammenfassung

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, invites you to join a multidisciplinary team developing next‑generation SRF cavities. You will advance chemical and electrochemical surface treatments and help design and commission a new surface finishing facility.

We seek candidates with strong electrochemistry and corrosion backgrounds, experience in modelling and process safety, and hands‑on lab skills.

Qualifikationen

• Strong background in applied electrochemistry and corrosion.
• Experience in modelling and developing chemical or electrochemical treatment processes.
• Knowledge of chemical engineering unit operations and process safety.
• Familiarity with electrochemical characterization techniques.
• Knowledge of metals and alloys and their heat treatments.
• Understanding of thermodynamics and energetics.
• Ability to apply numerical modelling in fluid mechanics and/or heat transfer.

Aufgaben

• Develop, operate and optimise chemical and electrochemical surface-processing techniques for SRF accelerating cavities and their subassemblies.
• Optimise existing processes by conducting laboratory-scale chemical and electrochemical trials using multiphysics simulations to improve performance and reproducibility.
• Define technical requirements and coordinate design, procurement, testing and commissioning of new equipment for chemical and electrochemical surface finishing.
