Job Description

Introduction

Are you a superconducting magnet engineer with hands-on experience in the maintenance, operation, and design of superconducting (detector) magnets? Would you like to contribute maintaining and operating the largest superconducting magnet system in the world? Are you interested in contributing to the design of future superconducting detector magnets and research and development of associated technologies? Then, take part

You will join:

  • The Experimental Physics Department (EP), which carries out basic research in the field of experimental physics. It aims at providing a stimulating scientific atmosphere and remains an important reference centre for the European physics community. It contributes to the education and training of young scientists.
  • The ATLAS Magnet Team, part of the ATLAS Detector Operations Groups (ADO), which is responsible for maintaining, operating, and troubleshooting the ATLAS Central Solenoid, the ATLAS Toroid magnet, and various other superconducting detector magnet systems at CERN.
  • EP Magnet Working Group and EP R&D program, engaged in R&D of technologies for future superconducting detector magnets and contributing to various future superconducting detector magnet projects.

Functions

  • Join a team of experts who ensure the smooth operation of the ATLAS superconducting magnets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as well as various other superconducting detector magnets at CERN. This includes hands-on maintenance, commissioning, troubleshooting, and operation. It also includes reporting of findings through presentations and reports.
  • Together with the ATLAS Magnet Project Leader, co-chair regular meetings with experts to discuss maintenance, operation, and consolidation efforts.
  • Prepare works for the annual end-of-the-year maintenance period and the long shutdown periods.
  • Contribute to design activities for future superconducting detector magnet projects, both for CERN and for the international community.
  • Participate in Research and Development of technologies for superconducting detector magnets and associated technologies through the CERN EP R&D programme.
  • Supervise students and fellows.

  • Communicating Effectively:
    • Expressing opinions, ideas and suggestions with conviction and in a logical/structured manner; keeping to the point,
    • Delivering presentations in a structured and clear way; adjusting style and content to the audience; responding calmly and confidently to questions,
    • Utilising effective negotiation techniques to achieve long-term results acceptable to all parties involved.
  • Achieving Results:
    • Objectively assessing and monitoring own work; regularly reporting on progress and advising of any changes in schedule or priorities,
    • Having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind,
    • Driving work / projects along and seeing them through to their conclusion
  • Solving Problems:
    • Identifying, defining and assessing problems, taking action to address them,
    • Finding the information needed to solve problems; making objective judgments based on all the facts available,
    • Assimilating large quantities of information, identifying key issues and formulating conclusions clearly and concisely.
  • Demonstrating Flexibility:
    • Demonstrating a willingness to accept changing circumstances; supporting initiatives for change,
    • Adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements Instigating and promoting change as an opportunity for organisational development.
  • Working in Teams:
    • Cooperating constructively with others in the pursuit of team goals; balancing personal goals with team goals,
    • Building and maintaining constructive and effective work relationships,
    • Contributing to promoting a positive atmosphere in the team through an optimistic and constructive attitude; addressing issues.

Language skills:

Spoken and written English: ability to understand and speak in professional contexts. Ability to draw-up technical specifications and/or scientific reports and to make oral presentations.

French knowledge would be a plus, willingness to acquire it is mandatory.
