Job Description
Your responsibilities
The is tasked with safeguarding individuals from the effects of ionising radiation associated with CERN's activities. As part of its mission, the Group is also responsible for the management and handling of radioactive sources. Specifically, the disposal of unused radioactive sources necessitates their radiological characterisation and the establishment of safe and effective elimination procedures.
You will join the Characterisation Team, a subdivision of the Radiation Protection Group. This team is dedicated to developing innovative methodologies for characterisation through advanced research and state-of-the-art technologies. You will also collaborate closely with the Radioactive Source Service and the Radioactive Waste Management section.
In particular, your responsibilities will include:
Managing a project for the elimination of radioactive sources, from identifying candidate sources to organising their disposal; Developing measurement protocols for the characterisation of radioactive sources, such as through gamma spectrometry; Applying machine learning and data analysis to the source database, for example, to establish predictive models for the replacement of ageing sources or to identify groups of sources using unsupervised learning; Contributing to scientific studies on the characterisation of radioactive materials, such as defining decision thresholds for the clearance of accelerator components.This role offers a unique opportunity to:
Apply your expertise to tangible, challenging physical problems; Develop new skills by collaborating with CERN physicists and engineers; Take advantage of a comprehensive package of online training covering project management, radiation measurements, and data analysis; Present your work at seminars or in scientific publications.Your profile

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on
