to participate in the operation and development of the GSI linear accelerator UNILAC (UNIversal Linear ACcelerator). Tasks and responsibilities include the coordination of UNILAC operation and the shutdown work relating to this facility, but also medium and long-term development tasks in the field of heavy ion linear accelerators, operating with world-class performances. Part of the work time is spent in support for the ongoing construction project FAIR-SFRS, the super fragment separator and its beam lines.

One work focus is:

Responsibility and/or cooperation in all tasks concerning the machine coordination of GSI-UNILAC
Assistance in the coordination of shutdown work
Management and/or collaboration on assorted UNILAC upgrade projects
On a longer-term time scale, the safety responsibility for UNILAC operation.

Other tasks include:

Development of beam dynamics codes
Beam dynamics support for the high current heavy ion UNILAC operation
Collaboration in the sub-project “Longitudinal beam matching”
Active participation in the FAIR-UNILAC upgrade program

Mandatory:

Active participation in linear accelerator development tasks, including UNILAC and possible future linacs (e.g. HELIAC)
Participation in the FAIR Super-FRS-project

University Master Degree in physics or engineering sciences or comparable qualification
Ability and interest to work with mechanical systems and accelerator installations
Knowledge in Radio Frequency, vacuum technology, beam dynamics and other relevant fields of accelerator technology and physics
Knowledge and interest in the design and construction of RF accelerator cavities and in the design of linear accelerators
Team-oriented and safe working methods
Good language skills in English and a strong commitment to learn German are mandatory

The following qualifications and skills are desirable:

A PhD in accelerator science or physics
Experience in the operation of ion or heavy ion accelerators
Experience in the coordination of shutdown work in accelerator facilities
Experience in the management and implementation of accelerator projects
Experience in the assembly and maintenance of complex technical systems

a multifaceted and interesting position within an internationally leading research institution.

For these positions we offer permanent contracts. Salary is as specified in the collective agreement for public employees (TVöD Bund), effective at GSI. Applications from the international community are invited.

GSI supports the vocational development of women. Therefore, women are especially encouraged to apply for the position.

Handicapped persons will be preferentially considered when equally qualified.
