Accelerator PhysicistNew

This role contributes to the conceptual design and performance assessment of a potential future CERN collider. It develops and optimises beam optics, performs beam-dynamics and particle-tracking simulations across the machine’s energy range, and investigates effects such as beam-beam interactions, synchrotron radiation and impedance to improve operational robustness.

• Contribute to the conceptual design and assessment of a potential future collider
• Optimise linear and nonlinear collider beam optics through tune scans and dynamic-aperture optimisation
• Perform particle-tracking studies across the operating energy range including beam-beam interactions, synchrotron radiation and impedance
• Investigate accelerator-physics challenges for the collider using experience from the FCC-ee study

• Master's degree with two to six years of professional experience since graduation, or a PhD with no more than three years of professional experience since graduation
• Nationality of a CERN Member State or Associate Member State
• No previous CERN fellow or graduate contract
• Spoken and written English with a commitment to learn French
