Job description:

GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH in Darmstadt operates one of the leading research centers in a broad field of science from biophysics to nuclear and hadron physics.

In the near future, the new FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe GmbH), one of the world's largest international research projects, will give scientists from all over the world new insights into the structure of matter and the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to the present.

With its modern research infrastructure, its interdisciplinary research platforms and its international networks, GSI and FAIR offer a highly attractive working environment in the fields of science, technology and administration as well as for the education of highly qualified young professionals.

GSI and FAIR are two distinct entities - one national, one international -, but operated in a highly integrated way by a joint Management Team.

GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH (GSI) is the German national laboratory for hadron, nuclear, plasma and atomic physics as well as for other research disciplines with high-energy heavy ion beams, with about 1600 employees and an annual operating budget of about 200 million euros.

GSI operates a large research infrastructure with unique accelerator and experimental facilities, a high-power laser system and high-performance computing facilities.

GSI is an institution of the Helmholtz Association and is funded 90% by the Federal Government and 10% by the Federal States of Hesse, Thuringia and Rhineland-Palatinate.

The new Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe GmbH (FAIR), one of the largest research projects worldwide, is being built on and next to the GSI site and will progressively start operations in the coming years.

The FAIR facility consists of several accelerator and storage rings with a circumference of up to 1,100 meters, two linear accelerators and about 3.5 kilometers of connecting lines between the accelerators and to the experiments.

The existing GSI accelerators will be integrated in the new facility. Construction of the new facility began in 2010, and the commissioning is scheduled to be completed by 2028. During the FAIR operational phase, up to 3,000 scientific users are expected to participate in experiments there.

FAIR is being realized in an international laboratory with 10 partner countries and an investment volume of around 3 billion euros: Finland, France, Germany, India, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovenia and Sweden, with the United Kingdom as an associated partner and the Czech Republic as an aspirant partner.

FAIR GmbH was founded in 2010 with the partner countries as shareholders for the construction and operation of FAIR.

GSI also contributes the majority of the FAIR accelerator components as well as significant segments of the FAIR experiments.

A joint team of three directors, consisting of the scientific managing director, the administrative managing director and the technical managing director, leads both companies, FAIR GmbH and GSI GmbH.
