Job Description Your responsibilities**You will join the Accelerator System (SY) department, which is responsible for the beam-related technical systems of the CERN accelerators.
The position is based in the Beam Instrumentation (BI) group which is responsible for designing, building and maintaining the instruments that allow observation of the particle beams and the measurement of related parameters for all CERN accelerators and transfer lines.
Within the BI group you will work in the eXperimental Areas, Electron beams & Ionisation monitor (XEI) section, with a team of experienced applied physicists, electronic engineers & technicians.
We are seeking a highly motivated Applied Physicist or Engineer to join a team working on the development of beam instrumentation that leverages recent advancements in hybrid pixel detector technology by the Medipix collaboration.
In this role you will have the unique opportunity to build up your expertise in beam diagnostics, pixel detector technology, high speed data acquisition systems and data analysis.
You will take a leading role in the commissioning and exploitation of a new non-invasive transverse beam profile monitor for the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), which is based on the detection of ionisation electrons with hybrid pixel detectors installed directly inside the accelerator beam pipe.
In particular, you will:
- Take charge of the commissioning and operational support of the new SPS Beam Gas Ionisation (BGI) transverse beam profile monitors;
- Study and improve the absolute accuracy of the instrument by means of comparison with a reference instrument & simulation;
- Investigate the potential use of the BGI instruments for beam halo measurements; Contribute to the design, installation & testing of beam instrumentation based on Timepix3 & 4 hybrid pixel detectors.
Your profile
Skills and/or knowledge
- Proficiency in coding with Python;
- Experience in data analysis and simulations.
Advantageous:
- Knowledge of particle detectors and/or data acquisition systems would be an advantage;
- Experience in developing and/or commissioning beam instruments or particle detectors would be an advantage.
Language skills:
- Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage.
Eligibility criteria:
- You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
- You have a professional background in Physics, Applied Physics, Engineering (or a related field) and have either:
Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
- You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
