Physicist or Engineer (Accelerator Development) | Physiker*in oder Ingenieur*in
GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH
Job Summary
This role involves contributing significantly to the development of the superconducting linear accelerator HELIAC (Helmholtz Linear Accelerator) within the Linac department at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum, a key part of the international FAIR research project. The successful candidate will manage the procurement and monitor the manufacturing of components and cryostats for subsequent cryomodules. A major focus includes cryogenic testing of RF cavities, requiring the development of automated control systems for the vacuum-heating gas compressor. You will also participate directly in testing the initial cryomodule and assist during irradiation and beam times. Candidates must hold a university degree (M.Sc./M.Eng.) in Physics or Engineering and possess a strong interest in mechanical systems and accelerator facilities. Expertise in areas such as cryogenics, vacuum technology, programming, or industrial PLC is required, offering a challenging position within a leading international research environment.
