Uppsala University is a comprehensive research-intensive university with a strong international standing. Our ultimate goal is to conduct education and research of the highest quality and relevance to make a long-term difference in society. Our most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity and dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting workplaces. Uppsala University has over 54,000 students, more than 7,500 employees and a turnover of around SEK 8 billion.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy is one of the largest of the university with almost 400 employees, of which about 125 are doctoral students. The department conducts world-class research and education in both theoretical and experimental physics and has extensive collaboration with the outside world. The FREIA Laboratory, a Division of the Department, is developing and testing new particle accelerator and detector instrumentation with new projects continuously added to the current activities. The research and development work is closely linked to major research infrastructure projects like ESS and MAX IV in Lund or CERN in Switzerland. The laboratory has around 30 employees, including researchers, engineers and technicians. More information on our websites: www.physics.uu.se and www.physics.uu.se/research/freia-lab/

Duties
The FREIA Laboratory is engaged in the development of superconducting magnets in collaboration with the Linnaeus University in Växjö and three partners from Swedish industry, and with external support from CERN, Switzerland. Together we are designing, building and testing a superconducting accelerator magnet. The work involves everything from simulation of the magnetic field and quench propagation, mechanical modeling, manufacturing and assembly, to testing the magnet in cold condition.
The successful candidate will work both with numerical simulations to characterize and improve the prototype magnet and with vertical cold-test of several superconducting magnets:
- Quench simulations of superconducting magnets.
- Magnetic modeling of superconducting magnets.
- Support in the construction of superconducting magnets.
- Hands-on preparation of cold tests of magnets in a vertical cryostat at FREIA.
- Plan and monitor measurements, trouble-shooting of experiment setups, and operate the cryogenic and vacuum infrastructure.
- Report on and document the activities.
In addition to the magnet-related activities, the candidate will assist in the overall development and evaluation of instrumentation and experiments at the FREIA Laboratory. To actively contribute to outreach activities and to the supervision of students may be required. The work will involve domestic and international travel.
Requirements
You must hold a PhD degree in physics or a related area, with experience in the field of superconducting magnets. [KP1] You shall demonstrate a drive and determination to achieve results, be open minded and flexible in relation to the type of work assigned. To be successful in your role you must be able to organize multiple tasks, and have a genuine interest in research and technology.
The following knowledge, experience and competencies are required
Knowledge of superconducting magnets. Knowledge of particle accelerators. Experience with numerical modeling. Ability to communicate well both technically and at a general scientific level. Ability to produce good written reports and articles. Good oral and written proficiency in English. Experience from scientific experiments and measurements.
Additional qualifications
Experience with cold tests of superconducting magnets. Experience with magnetic field measurement. Skills in using FEM computer software such as COMSOL. Experience with the software DIAdem. Experience from cryo and vacuum technology. Oral and written proficiency in Swedish. Experience from working in a multi-disciplinary team.
Application
The application shall be submitted in Swedish or English and must include a brief description of your research interests, relevant skills, experience and competencies, CV, copies of certificates, diplomas, list of publications, and other documents which you would like to refer to. Please provide names and contact details of at least two reference persons.
