Accelerator Physicist, potential collider

Datum: 8 september, 2026 Tid: 11:59

Placering: CERN

You will contribute to a proposal covering the design, optimisation, and performance evaluation of a potential future collider  role encompasses both beam optics development and beam dynamics simulations, including the study of key effects such as synchrotron radiation, beam-beam interactions, and impedance.

• Contribute to the conceptual design phase of the study, supporting the development and assessment of the collider design.
• Propose optimisations of the linear and nonlinear beam optics of the collider, including tune scans and multi-objective optimisation of the dynamic aperture, as well as optimising collider parameters to maximise machine performance and operational robustness.
• Perform particle tracking studies for the collider across its operating energy range, including the effects of beam-beam interactions, synchrotron radiation, and beam impedance.
• Investigate key accelerator physics challenges for the collider, drawing on experience from the FCC-ee study.

• You are a national of aCERN Member State or Associate Member State. Currently, we cannot consider applications from Pakistani, Lithuanian, Latvian, Cypriot and Croatian nationals, as the ceiling defined under Article II.5 of the Associate Membership Agreement has been reached.
• By the Final date to receive applications, you have a master’s degree with 2 to 6 years of professional experience since graduation or a PhD with a maximum of 3 years of professional experience since graduation. You are not eligible with only a bachelor’s degree.
• You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
• Please pay attention to the additional criteria and requirements for this specific position and mentioned above.
