CERN: Take part!

Introduction

Beam Physicist in the Engineering Department (EN), Experimental Areas Group (EA), Liaison with Experiments Section (LE) section.

You will join:

.The Engineering (EN) Department that provides engineering competencies, infrastructure systems, and technical coordination for the world's largest particle accelerator complex and its experimental facilities.

.The Experimental Areas (EA) Group is responsible for planning and coordinating all activities in many of the CERN Experimental Areas. The group provides support to the experiments that use the different CERN accelerators in the preparation, integration, installation, and operation, as well as the design, installation, and maintenance of the secondary beam areas.

Functions

Following the initial training within the EN-EA Group, as a Beam Physicist you will be responsible for the exploitation of secondary and tertiary beams in the CERN accelerator complex. You will set up, adapt, and develop particle beams, participate in the design of experimental facilities, and collaborate and guide the operations team to optimally exploit the beam lines according to the needs of experiments.

In particular, you will be expected to:

.Take responsibility for the exploitation of the secondary beams in the PS East and SPS North Areas and in the CERN accelerator complex, ensuring that the beams operate at high efficiency to fulfil the yearly physics programme.

.Perform particle beam design studies (optics, simulations, background conditions), ensure their readiness and optimize the beams for the needs of the experiments.

.Resolve interface issues and liaise with the experiments for the optimal exploitation of the beam lines in line with the respective physics goals.

.Discuss with users to understand their requirements in terms of secondary and tertiary beam characteristics, ensure the requirements are in line with existing beam lines, study and propose upgrades whenever necessary.

.Provide guidance and work in close collaboration with the PS and SPS operations teams to ensure the optimal exploitation of the beam lines and ensure the best support to the experimental teams.

.Contribute to the modernisation process of all beam related design software tools.

.Write and contribute to software used for the high-level control or analysis of the beam lines.

.Document the beam lines and report to the relevant committees.

.Collaborate with the radioprotection and safety teams to ensure the safe operation of the beam lines, particularly for the experimental teams.

.Supervise students and technicians as required by on-going projects and activities.

Qualification required

Master's degree or PhD level in the field of applied physics or engineering, or equivalent.

Experience and competencies

The experience required for this post is:

.Knowledge of experimental high-energy particle physics, in particular for particle detectors.

.Knowledge of the principles of accelerator physics.

.Working with simulation tools widely used in particle and accelerator physics and capability for data analysis.

.Knowledge in radioprotection issues, in particular related to particle beams and accelerators, and methods used to mitigate the risks.

.Safety issues in particle acceler
