Job Description:


The International Muon Collider Collaboration hosted by CERN investigates the feasibility of a muon collider as a most promising sustainable path towards very high collision energies.

This present position is part of a Design Study co-financed by the European Commission.

It is focused on the baseline concept of the RF systems for the novel Muon Cooling Complex (MCC) of the high energy muon collider study as well as on the conceptual design of the RF system for the Muon Cooling Test Facility (MCTF) as the next step towards muon collider.

Based on the input from the beam dynamics a consistent set of parameters for all RF cavities and associated RF systems will be elaborated creating backbone of the conceptual design of the RF system for the MCC.

For certain specific examples of such a cavity which will be used for the MCTF, more advanced engineering design will be performed including 3D RF design and thermo-mechanical simulations, as well as consideration of integration into the cooling cells for operation at gradients up to 30 MV/m in RF cavities that will be placed in magnetic fields of up to 13 T.

The impact of the beam loading on the muon energy spread will have to be investigated and appropriate mitigating measures proposed.


Qualifications:

Eligibility criteria:

  • You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State;
  • You have a Master's degree and between 2 and 6 years' experience or PhD with up to 3 years of relevant experience in applied physics or other related field;
  • You should have a working knowledge of English or French.

Skills and/or knowledge:

  • Electromagnetic theory and Accelerator physics;
  • 3D numerical simulations of electromagnet fields using 3D codes like Ansys EM, CST, COMSOL, or others.
Additional Information

What we offer:

  • An employment contract of in principle 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months;
  • Onthejob and formal training at CERN as well as inhouse language courses for English and/or French;
  • A monthly stipend ranging between 6050 and 6650 Swiss Francs per month (net of tax);
  • Coverage by CERN's comprehensive health scheme (for yourself, your spouse and children), and membership of the CERN Pension Fund;
  • Depending on your individual circumstances: installation grant; family, child and infant allowances; payment of travel expenses at the beginning and end of contract;
  • 30 days of paid leave per year.

How to Apply:

  • A CV;
  • A scanned PDF of your most recent relevant qualification;
