About the position 

We are now looking to appoint a summer worker for the Cryogenics group in the Accelerator Division.  

The Cryogenics Group works alongside other groups in the Accelerator Division to define, design, install, commission and finally operate and maintain the cryogenic systems of the ESS. These efforts extend also to cryogenic needs in the Target Division and the Science Directorate. 

The ESS cryogenic systems are currently in commissioning phase. Performance tests are being conducted on key components, including circulation hydrogen pump, heat exchanger, expansion turbine, catalyst, control valve, flow meter, as well as overall system performance tests. These tests aim to verify the cryogenic system design and to optimize operational conditions, leading to the establishment of an automatic control system. Additionally, ESS has developed a high-accuracy Raman optical system to measure the parahydrogen fraction at 17 K. 

Throughout the commissioning period, a large amount of experimental data is being collected. Prompt data analysis is crucial to efficiently acquire test data and ensure the commissioning is completed on schedule. 

To support this effort, we are seeking a summer worker to assist with data analysis. 

About you 

A suitable background for this position would be:

• Experience with programming (C, Java, Python etc.), which will be used to analyze the data.
• Experience in data analysis, particularly I. the following field: Thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer and Raman spectroscopy.
• Good written and oral communication skills in English.
• Minimum age 18 years.
