hela Sverige The Machine Directorate at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, invites applications for a Radiation shielding and particle transport expert.
Description of directorate/division
The ESS Target Division is part of the ESS Machine Directorate with responsibility to design, develop, procure, install, commission and test the systems needed to convert the energetic proton beam coming from the ESS accelerator to neutron beams that are utilized for experiments. The first step in this process is production of high energy neutrons through a spallation process involving the proton beam interaction with a tungsten target. The fast, high-energy neutrons that are released in the spallation process are slowed down to the energies that are suitable for different types of experiments at ESS, and then delivered to the instruments through beam ports. Key features of the target station are the target itself, the neutron moderator and reflector system, and the neutron beam-extraction system.
Job description and responsibilities:
As the successful candidate, you will be part of the target physics group within target division, working on shielding and activation calculations. Your work will be primarily in collaboration with the target engineering workpackages, but may also involve work with other subprojects. You will be entrusted and empowered to work directly with the engineering workpackages, discuss their needs and questions, and find solutions to these questions. This will often require finding solutions, that are not just driven by science, but also need to take other aspects of a construction project into account, as cost and schedule.
