Shape the future of particle physics at CERN! Lead the design and development of advanced radiation absorbers and beam intercepting devices for the Future Circular Collider, collaborating with experts to drive innovation and scientific discovery. Take part!

You will join the Accelerator Systems Department (SY), which is responsible for the beam-related technical systems of the CERN accelerators. The SY teams design, build and operate equipment systems in all CERN accelerators, and are engaged in ambitious forward-looking R&D programmes.

You will join the Sources Targets Interactions (STI) Group, which is responsible for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of all intercepting devices across the CERN complex, including studies related to crystal-based beam manipulations. In particular, the Targets Dumps and Collimators (TCD) Section is responsible for the mechanical and operational aspects of CERN’s beam intercepting devices (BIDS), including the spallation neutron target of the n_TOF facility, the antiproton production target, the primary targets for the North and East Halls, all beam collimators, dumps and absorbers of the injector complex and the LHC. These are key components in CERN’s accelerator complex, used to absorb particles from the high energy particle beams needed for CERN’s experimental research programme. The increasingly high particle beam energies and intensities needed to ensure CERN’s position as the world leading particle physics research laboratory led to unprecedented challenges in the design of new or upgraded beam intercepting devices.

You will be focused on the development of radiation absorbers for the Future Circular Collider machine and in general for beam intercepting devices for the collider and injector complex.
