About the Team

CERN's Accelerator Systems Department (SY) is responsible for the beam-related technical systems of the CERN accelerators. The department designs, builds, and operates equipment systems in all CERN accelerators and engages in ambitious forward-looking R&D programmes.

The Sources, Targets and Interactions Group (STI) in the SY Department has a broad expertise on the interaction of beams with matter and applies its know-how to a large spectrum of activities including particle production, beam intercepting devices, studies on beam-matter interaction and nuclear engineering.

The Lasers and Photocathodes Section (LP) in the SY Department is responsible for the operation and development of the ISOLDE RILIS laser ion source and the photoinjectors delivering electron beams to CLEAR and AWAKE.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with a talented team of physicists, engineers, and technicians who are passionate about advancing particle physics.

Key responsibilities include collaborating with the team to apply ion beam manipulation techniques, contributing to the general RILIS on-call operation, working closely with the operations team and ISOLDE users in setting up special timing and synchronization schemes, driving the use, development and simulation of highly specialized ion traps used at ISOLDE, coordinating the development and implementation of new ion beam manipulation and ion detection infrastructure, supporting the ISOLDE Frontend redesign project, engaging in R&D activities within CERN, and supervising and mentoring team members.

To be successful in this role, you will need to have a strong background in nuclear physics, nuclear engineering, or a related field, excellent communication and collaboration skills, and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
