Job Description
CERN is seeking a talented Applied Physicist to contribute to the development of cutting-edge muon collider technology. As part of the Accelerator and Beam Physics group, you will investigate collective effects that impact ionization cooling and beam stability.

The ideal candidate will have expertise in beam dynamics, particle-matter interaction, and electromagnetic fields. You will study beam interactions with absorbers, gas-filled RF cavities, and other materials to analyze the effects of ionization-induced charge pairs on beam stability. Your role will also involve developing theoretical models and simulations to explore instabilities in the cooling process. Collaborating with leading experts in the International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC), you will contribute to groundbreaking research and help shape the future of muon collider technology.

Your Responsibilities:
  • Investigate collective effects on ionization cooling and beam stability.
  • Study beam interactions with electromagnetic wake fields and other materials.
  • Analyze the effects of ionization-induced charge pairs on beam stability.
  • Develop theoretical models and simulations to explore instabilities in the cooling process.

Your Profile:
To succeed in this position, you should possess a professional background in accelerator physics, muon colliders, or a related field. You will need either a Master's degree with 2-6 years of post-graduation experience or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation experience. Additionally, you must be a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State. You should not have had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
