Job Description
Introduction
Join a great team pushing the limits of superconductors and of superconducting devices for accelerators, to shape the future of CERN. CERN, take part!
You will join the Superconductors and Superconducting Devices (SCD) Section, part of the Magnets, Superconductors and Cryostats (MSC) Group within the Technology (TE) Department. The Section is responsible for development, measurement and procurement of superconducting materials, LTS and HTS wires, tapes and cables for the CERN accelerator complex; development and construction of HTS superconducting devices, e.g. current leads and electrical transfer lines; operation and upgrade of laboratories for characterization of superconducting materials.
SCD is also responsible for interventions in the LHC tunnel for aspects related to LHC superconducting powering equipment and for the associated maintenance activities.
The section is presently launching the R&D on Nb3Sn and HTS technologies for novel applications, in particular high field magnets. The next years will be crucial in the demonstration of the potentials of these technologies for future accelerators and other uses.
Functions
As applied physicist in the SCD Section, you will:
Play a key role in the technology development and in the design and construction of superconducting magnet systems for the next generation of accelerators and for various diversification programs by:
Being a driving and innovative force in the development of new types of superconductors, HTS and others, and devices for use in accelerators, seizing opportunities for applications of the new technologies to other fields.
Participating to the design and assembly of HTS devices, including power transmission cables and demonstration coils. This requires defining manufacturing sequences, assembly procedures, instrumentation needs and test procedures.
Taking responsibility for the characterization of HTS superconductors, wires, tapes and cables at liquid helium temperature and above, including the definition of dedicated experiments on existing or new test installations, the elaboration of a test program and the analysis of test results.
Leading the qualification and quality control measurements for each step of the design and manufacturing phases.
Participating in the analyses to assess and correlate design parameters, assembly and test data from mock-ups and models, and being proactive in proposing design iterations whenever required.
Additional Information
Eligibility and closing date:
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. We welcome applications from all Member States and Associate Member States.
This vacancy will be filled as soon as possible, and applications should normally reach us no later than 10.02.2023 at midnight CET.
Employment Conditions
Contract type: Limited duration contract (5 years). Subject to certain conditions, holders of limited-duration contracts may apply for an indefinite position.
These functions require:
Work in Radiation Areas.
Interventions in underground installations.
A valid driving licence is required.
Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.
Shift work, when required by the needs of the Organization.
Stand-by duty, when required by the needs of the Organization.
Job grade: 6-7
