Applied Physicist for Muon Collider Models

vor 3 Wochen


Geneve, Schweiz CERN Vollzeit

**Job Description**:
**Your responsibilities**

You will be part of:

- The Beams department, responsible for the beam generation, acceleration, diagnostics, controls and performance optimization for the LHC and its injector accelerators.
- The Accelerator and Beam Physics Group, which is responsible for studying and understanding the beam dynamics over the complete CERN Accelerator Complex through theoretical, simulation and experimental studies. The group provides input and support for machine operations, devising settings and scenarios to optimize the machine performance. It is also responsible for working out concepts and ideas for future accelerators.

The muon collider is a novel approach to reach very lepton collision energies and to expand the physics reach well beyond that of LHC and HL-LHC. It is an important option as a future flagship project at the high-energy frontier and promises comparatively low cost and power consumption.
Muon colliders are studied by a world-wide collaboration hosted at CERN. The study is also supported by the European Commission. Your work will enable the physics team to determine the physics reach and the collaboration to optimise the collider.

In this position, you will contribute to two main fields of the collider design:
1) The beam dynamics design of the final cooling, which is a core system to achieve the beam quality that is essential to reach the physics potential.
2) Act as the study leader to develop an integrated high-level model of the collider performance.

**Your profile**

Skills and/or knowledge
- Sound knowledge of Accelerator physics and beam dynamics
- Experience in programming (e.g. Python)
- 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 Physique (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 fellow or graduate contract before.

Additional Information

Job closing date**:17.09.2023 at 12:00 AM (midnight) CET.**

Job reference: BE-ABP-LAF-2023-55-GRAP

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

Target start date: 01-January-2024

**What we offer**
- A monthly stipend ranging between **6194 and 6808 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.
