Offer Description
Your responsibilities
In this role, you will join the Accelerator Systems Department (SY) , more specifically the Sources, Targets and Interactions Group , who is in charge of Beam-Machine Interaction studies. Your team will be in the Beam Machine Interactions (BMI) section which is in charge of Beam-Machine Interaction studies for all CERN accelerators and future accelerator projects.
This position is dedicated to follow-up on the measures to be implemented during the phase-two upgrade of the LHCb detector in the corresponding LHC insertion (IR8) to cope with the increased debris load. This upgrade will allow the accelerator to operate with much higher proton-proton luminosities, which sub sequentially leads to the increase in debris load.
In the position, you will:
- take care of the IR8 FLUKA model;
- perform all the particle shower simulations implied by the upgrade of different mitigation strategies;
- provide an updated a picture of the radiation impact, in terms of dose to the magnets, relevant levels for the electronics, etc.
Your profile
Skills and/or knowledge
- Experience with simulation of radiation environments;
- Knowledge of particle-matter interactions;
- Knowledge of programming techniques and languages (i.e. bash, python).
Advantageous knowledge:
- Knowledge of at least one Monte Carlo code (FLUKA, etc.) is an asset.
Language skills:
- Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage.
Eligibility criteria:
- You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State .
- You have a professional background in Nuclear/particle physics (or a related field) and have either:
- a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
- or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
- You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.

About us
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 http://home.cern.
We are on a Quest. A Journey into discovery like no other. Bring your expertise to our unique work and develop your knowledge and skills at pace. Join world-class subject matter experts on unique projects, in a Quest for greater knowledge and deeper understanding.
Begin your CERN Quest. Take Part!
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
