Accelerator Physicist — Collider Optics & Beam Dynamics

Big Science Sweden; Genf; Hybrid; CHF 100.000 - 150.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

CERN in Geneva invites applications to contribute to a proposal for the design, optimisation, and performance evaluation of a potential future collider. The role covers beam optics development and beam dynamics simulations, including synchrotron radiation, beam-beam interactions, and impedance.

You will support the conceptual design, propose linear and nonlinear optics optimisations, and perform particle tracking across energy ranges to maximise machine performance and robustness.

Qualifikationen

• Master's degree with 2–6 years of professional experience since graduation, or PhD with up to 3 years since graduation.
• Bachelor's degree alone is not eligible.
• CERN fellow or graduate contract applicants are not eligible.

Aufgaben

• Contribute to the conceptual design phase of the study for the collider design.
• Propose optimisations of linear and nonlinear beam optics, including tune scans and dynamic aperture optimization.
• Perform particle tracking studies across the operating energy range, including beam-beam, synchrotron radiation and impedance effects.
• Investigate accelerator physics challenges drawing on experience from related collider studies.
