Job Description
Your responsibilities in the Accelerator and Beam Physics group at CERN:
* Analyse beam loading effects on ionisation cooling cell design.
* Investigate collective instabilities limiting beam quality during cooling and acceleration.
* Study low-energy acceleration phase (0.2–60 GeV) in pre-accelerators and Recirculating Linear Accelerators (RLAs).
* Perform start-to-end simulations connecting cooling phase to beam collisions.
* Identify performance limitations arising from collective effects and propose mitigation strategies.
* Collaborate with international experts to advance muon collider technology.
As an Applied Physicist, you will be part of the International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC).
Your profile
Requirements
* Knowledge of Beam dynamics.
* Knowledge of collective effects.
* Knowledge of beam tracking in rings.
* Fluent in English; knowledge of French is a plus.
Eligibility criteria:
* You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
* You have a professional background in Accelerator physics, muon colliders (or a related field) with either a Master's degree and 2-6 years of experience or a PhD and no more than 3 years of experience.
* You have never had a CERN fellowship or contract before.
