ATS Research Fellowship: Applied Physics and Engineering

Job Description

Job Overview:

We are offering one post-doctoral research position in the field of applied physics and engineering. The successful candidates will be working in the Accelerator Systems departments of CERN. They will be performing research in the field of Accelerator Physics and System Design, including but not limited to:
- Design, develop and optimise beam transfer systems supporting CERN's accelerator complex and future accelerator projects.
- Perform accelerator physics studies, including beam optics design, particle tracking and multi-physics simulations, to support system design, validation and performance optimisation.
- Develop functional specifications for beam transfer systems based on accelerator physics requirements and engineering constraints.
- Develop and implement modern commissioning strategies using automation, numerical optimisation and data-driven techniques.
- Analyse beam and system performance to improve beam quality, operational efficiency and system reliability.

Candidate Profile:
