Job description

Summer worker, CAD Design in the Spectroscopy Division

Placering: ESS

About the position

We are now looking to appoint a summer worker in the Spectroscopy Division. The Spectroscopy group is responsible for 5 instruments that probe material dynamics using inelastic and quasi‑elastic neutron scattering. A wide variety of behaviours can be probed to determine material functionalities ranging from diffusional or hopping motions of atoms, the rotational modes of molecules, sound modes and molecular vibrations, recoil in quantum fluids, magnetic and quantum excitations or even electronic transitions. The 5 instruments of the spectroscopy division are MIRACLES, a backscattering spectrometer, CSPEC, a cold flight spectrometer, BIFROST, the extreme environment spectrometer, T-REX, a bispectral time of flight spectrometer and VESPA, a vibrational spectrometer. This role will support BIFROST.

As a mechanical designer summer worker, your task will be to start the design of a prototype support tool helping to move and manipulate the detector modules of the instrument.

You are expected to communicate and collaborate with a variety of people in an international environment. You are good at taking initiative and not afraid to ask questions.
