Radiation Physicist for FCC-ee

vor 1 Tag

Genf, Genf, Schweiz Physics World Vollzeit

Job Details

What You'll Do
In this role, you will perform Monte Carlo radiation transport studies for the FCC-ee technical insertions, quantifying the radiation exposure of equipment installed in the FCC-ee tunnel. In addition, you will perform energy deposition studies for the design of different FCC-ee accelerator systems, in particular the collider and booster dump systems and protection devices.

Your Responsibilities

  • Carry out particle-matter interaction studies with the FLUKA Monte Carlo code and implement geometry models for FCC-ee machine studies.
  • Assess the expected radiation levels due to regular beam losses and synchrotron radiation emission in the FCC-ee technical insertions.
  • Perform energy deposition studies for accidental beam losses in FCC-ee and actively participate in the conceptual design of FCC-ee protection devices (absorbers, collimators) and dumps.
  • Closely collaborate with beam physicists and mechanical engineers, in order to translate absorber and dump concepts into technical specifications

Your profile

  • Knowledge of particle-matter interactions;
  • Experience with Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations and transport codes (FLUKA, Geant4, etc.);
  • Proficiency in scientific computing;
  • Knowledge of accelerator physics is an advantage

Your Skills

  • Basic programming skills (e.g. Python, C++) for data analysis and code development;
  • Familiarity with numerical methods and scientific computing;
  • Problem-solving mindset and ability to learn new tools quickly (e.g. auxiliary tools for particle transport simulations);
  • Excellent team-working attitude, with colleagues from different fields of applied physics and engineering (multidisciplinary and international environment)

Ideal start date:
01/03/2026

Contract duration:
24 month contract

Job flexibility:
Fully Onsite
