Job Description
Your responsibilities include analysing and developing complex thermodynamic and fluid dynamic systems in a unique scientific endeavour. You will be involved in risk analysis studies, including advanced multi-physics modelling and computational fluid dynamics for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study.
About the Role
We are looking for a Numerical Modelling Engineer to join the Safety work package of the FCC study. As part of this role, you will participate in a wide range of research projects, working within a multidisciplinary team of engineers, physicists and technicians.
Your Profile
To be successful in this role, you will have a strong background in modelling natural processes with dynamical systems and numerical integration, particularly in thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Experience in fire and smoke propagation is an asset.
* Develop ad-hoc numerical models and solve differential equations for multi-physics purposes, such as computational fluid dynamics and Monte-Carlo simulations.
* Use Python as a primary programming language and experience with commercial and/or open source simulation software, such as Ansys and OpenFoam.
Eligibility Criteria
You must meet the following criteria:
* Be a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
* Have a professional background in Mechanical Engineering/Applied Physics/Computer Science or a related field.
* Hold a Master's degree with 2-6 years of post-graduation professional experience or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
* Not have had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
What We Offer
CERN offers a comprehensive benefits package, including:
* A monthly stipend ranging between 6287 and 6911 Swiss Francs per month.
* Coverage by CERN's health scheme and membership of the CERN Pension Fund.
* On-the-job and formal training at CERN, as well as in-house language courses for English and/or French.
