Job description:

GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates one of the leading particle accelerators for science.

Currently, the new FAIR (
Facility for
Antiproton and
Ion
Research) one of the world's largest research projects, will be built in international cooperation.

GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work together in this international environment with a team of employees committed to ensuring each day to conduct world-class science.

In this context we are looking at the earliest convenience for an

Accelerator Physicist (all genders)

Posting - ID:

Within the ERC Consolidator project PROMISE you will work on developing and testing of methods to produce mixed ion beams for cancer therapy.

As the characteristics of such a beam are mostly determined by beam dynamics in the synchrotron, this position is part of the Department "System Design SIS100/SIS18", where you will be working in close contact with colleagues responsible for development and modeling of the SIS18.

You will also be in close contact with other accelerator departments and the Biophysics department.

Your tasks:

You will develop concepts for the costefficient production of mixed ion beams in therapy facilities, ranging from producing ions in the source to preacceleration in a linear accelerator to slow extraction from the synchrotron
You will develop methods for the production of mixed ion beams in the synchrotron SIS18, exploiting the wide array of options available in the GSI accelerator complex. You will coordinate the necessary additions in the accelerator control system and test your developments in machine experiments
You will conduct simulations of beam dynamics of the production of mixed ion beams, especially concerning the injection, acceleration and slow extraction in the SIS1
You will publish your results in scientific journals and present them at conferences.

Your profile:

You have a Ph.

D. in Physics or a comparable discipline

You have solid experience in the field of accelerator physics
You have experience in operating and simulating accelerators, ideally ring accelerators
Ideally, you have programming experience in Python, Java, or C++
You have strong communication and organization skills with colleagues of different disciplines
You have a structured, goaloriented and constructive work ethic
You speak English and ideally, German, and you are able to compose technical and scientific reports in both languages.

The position has a fixed term of 3 years. Salary is equivalent to that for public employees as specified in the collective agreement for public employees (TVöD Bund).

Handicapped persons will be preferentially considered when equally qualified.

Questions about the position should be addressed to the head of System Design SIS 100/SIS 18 Dr. David Ondreka ).

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation._

Company:

The Helmholtz Association contributes to solving major challenges to assure the future of our society.

With more than 39,000 people on staff in 18 national research centres, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organization.

The name Helmholtz stands for concerted research in which networks form the key principle behind inquiring thought and action. Concerted research is efficient and flexible.

The profile of the Helmholtz Association
The Helmholtz Association performs cutting-edge research which contributes substantially to solving the grand challenges of science, society and industry.

To succeed in meeting these responsibilities, Helmholtz concentrates its work in six research fields:
Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Matter, as well as Aeronautics, Space and Transport. Within each of these fields, research programs are developed by our scientists and regularly evaluated by renowned international experts. Their evaluation forms the basis for the programme-oriented funding that is allocated to Helmholtz research. Within the six research fields, Helmholtz scientists cooperate with each other and with
