Research Scientist / PhD Student for HTS Magnet System Development (65%) | Wissenschaftliche*n Mitarbeiter*in /Doktorand*in (d/m/w) Entwicklung HTS-Magnetsysteme (65%)
GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH
Job Summary
This role is a unique opportunity for an early-career scientist or engineer to contribute to the cutting-edge FAIR project, one of the world's largest research ventures, by developing High-Temperature Superconductor (HTS) magnet systems. The successful candidate will focus on replacing existing normal-conducting magnets with large-aperture HTS quadrupole systems at the GSI facility, which is crucial for future accelerator performance and energy efficiency. Day-to-day tasks include electromagnetic design, thermomechanical simulations, cryogenic engineering, and coordinating the manufacturing and testing of HTS magnet prototypes. The position is part-time (65%) and includes the opportunity to complete a doctoral thesis based on the project results, working closely with GSI experts and international partners in industry and academia.
