[Neutron] OPEN POSITIONS: Research fellow/engineer in proton front end studies and Research fellow/engineer in ECR ion source system studies for HPPA

[Johan Långberg]

As a part of the ongoing cooperation between ESS Scandinavia, CEA and  
Lund University are we seeking qualified persons to the following  
positions

Research fellow/engineer in proton front end studies for the ESS
Research fellow/engineer in ECR ion source system studies for HPPA


European Spallation Source will be a multi-disciplinary research  
centre, the global leader in its field. ESS will open new windows in a  
large array of scientific disciplines.

The ambition of ESS Scandinavia is that the ESS be built in Lund.
European Spallation Source (ESS) will, if realized, be the premier  
neutron source in the world and provide scientists with unique and  
powerful neutron scattering tools for studying the properties of  
materials and molecules – knowledge which is essential for growth in  
strategic areas such as nanotechnology, hardware for information  
technology, energy technology and life science and biotechnology. The  
scientific and technical case of the ESS has since 1993 been developed  
by the ESS-Council, an organization formed by 18 large laboratories in  
11 European countries.

The CEA is the French Atomic Energy Commission (Commissariat à  
l'énergie atomique). It is a public body established in October 1945  
by General de Gaulle. A leader in research, development and  
innovation, the CEA mission statement has two main objectives : To  
become the leading technological research organization in Europe and  
to ensure that the nuclear deterrent remains effective in the future.  
The CEA is active in three main fields : Energy, information and  
health technologies, and defense and national security. In each of  
these fields, the CEA maintains a cross-disciplinary culture of  
engineers and researchers, building on the synergies between  
fundamental and technological research.

Lund University, founded in 1666,is the biggest university in  
Scandinavia with education and research within technology, natural  
science, law, social science, economics, medicine, humanities,  
theology, art, music and performing arts. More then 39 000 students  
studies at the University that have approximately 5.500 employees,  
mainly in Lund, Malmö and Helsingborg.
The University is one of 12 universities within the “Öresund  
University” and cooperates with several hundreds of Universities  
around the world.




As a part of the ongoing cooperation between ESS Scandinavia, CEA and  
Lund University are we seeking qualified persons to the following  
positions:


Research fellow/engineer in proton front end studies for the ESS
Ref. No:  PA 2009/857

Description:
This activity falls within the framework of studies on high-intensity  
linear accelerators at
CEA. It specifically concerns the design of high-current proton front  
end. The work will involve
theoretical studies, simulations using beam transport code.
The successful candidate will have a background in plasma physics. He  
or she will be required to become familiar with the design and  
operation of linear accelerators.
The work will form part of the preparatory activities for the  
realisation of the European
Spallation Source.

Qualifications:
Engineering degree, or higher, physicist in plasmas. Previous  
experience on the use of
simulation tools would be an advantage.


Research fellow/engineer in ECR ion source system studies for HPPA
Ref. No:  PA 2009/858

Description:
This activity falls within the framework of studies on high-intensity  
linear accelerators at
CEA. It specifically concerns the design of high-current proton source  
used  in the front end of such machine. The work will involve  
theoretical studies, simulations using beam transport code, magnet and  
extraction system design. A participation in the construction and  
testing of the prototype equipment is expected after the industry  
follow-up of the component realisation.
The successful candidate will have a background in plasma physics. He  
or she will be required to become familiar with the design and  
operation of linear accelerators.
The work will form part of the preparatory activities for the  
realisation of the European
Spallation Source.

Qualifications:
Engineering degree, or higher, physicist in plasmas. Previous  
experience on the use of
simulation tools would be an advantage.



The following applies to both positions:
Excellent oral and written English is essential; knowledge of French  
would be an advantage.
Experience of working in a multi-cultural and multi-lingual  
environment in the
framework of international collaborations is essential.
Selected candidates may be required to travel to locations other than  
Saclay and to carry out research assignments of varying duration in  
these locations.
All positions will be subject to a two-year contract, which may be  
extended.
The employer is the University of Lund.
During the first two years, the selected candidates will spend  
approximately 90% of their
time at CEA and 10% in Lund, not including attendance at conferences,  
etc.


For further information please contact Mats Lindroos (mats.lindroos at esss.se 
) or Romuald Duperrier (romuald.duperrier at cea.fr).
Regarding pratical issues around the employment please contact Jörgen  
Wiksten (jorgen.wiksten at esss.se)

The interviews will take place in Lund sometime between the 6th and  
8th of April.
