Applied Physicist for Monte Carlo Simulations

vor 3 Wochen

Genf GE, Schweiz CERN Vollzeit

**Job Description** Your responsibilities**

The maintenance and development of the LHC geometry models in FLUKA, namely the ones of the experimental insertions, is essential not only for the accelerator operation and upgrade, but also for the support of approved and proposed experiments. In fact, those require an accurate characterization of expected signal, relevant background as well as radiation levels to be faced by the detector components, and on many occasions this implies the particle transport through the collider.

You will address the different requests regularly received from the various collaborations and, where applicable, will validate the simulations by means of comparisons with available data. Moreover, you will contribute to relevant improvements of the physics accuracy of the FLUKA code.

**Your profile**

**Skills**:

- Experience with simulation of radiation environments
- Knowledge of particle-matter interactions
- Knowledge of programming techniques and languages
- Knowledge of at least one Monte Carlo code (FLUKA, etc.) is an asset
- 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 **Nuclear or particle physics** (or a related field) and have either:

- a **Master's degree with 2 to 6 years** of post-graduation professional experience;
- or a **PhD with no more than 3 years** of post-graduation professional experience.
- You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.

**Additional Information**
Job closing date**: 12th December at 23:59 AM (midnight) CET.**

Contract duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum.

Working hours: 40 hours per week

Target start date: 01-March-2025

Job reference: SY-STI-BMI-2024-185-GRAP

Field of work: Applied Physics

**What we offer**
- A monthly stipend ranging between **6212** and 6828** 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**.
- On-the-job and formal training at CERN as well as in-house language courses for English and/or French.
