Job summary

CERN in Denmark seeks a scientist to join a multidisciplinary team developing the next generation of SRF cavities. You will develop and optimise chemical and electrochemical surface treatments, including polishing and electroplating, and help design and commissioning a new SRF surface-treatment facility.

A strong background in electrochemistry and materials science is required, with experience in lab-scale trials and process safety.

Qualifications

Strong background in electrochemistry and corrosion.
Experience in modelling or simulation of chemical/electrochemical processes.
Knowledge of chemical engineering unit operations and process safety.
Familiarity with electrochemical characterisation techniques.
Knowledge of materials science covering organic and inorganic materials.
Experience with wet surface finishing processes is an asset.

Responsibilities

Develop, operate and optimise chemical and electrochemical surface-processing techniques for SRF accelerating cavities and their subassemblies.
Optimise existing processes by developing and conducting laboratory-scale chemical and electrochemical trials, applying multiphysics simulation tools to improve process performance and reproducibility.
Define technical requirements and coordinate the design, procurement, testing, commissioning and acceptance of new equipment and facilities for the chemical and electrochemical surface finishing of SRF components.
Develop, validate, document and implement operating procedures, process specifications and quality control methods for the surface finishing of SRF components.
Work closely with engineers, physicists, technicians, safety specialists and external suppliers, communicating results and technical recommendations through reports, reviews and project meetings.
Ensure that all necessary safety measures and documentation are kept up to date and effectively implemented across existing and new processes and facilities.
