hela Sverige Imagine what we could learn if we could build a machine so powerful that it could look deep inside the very materials that the universe is made from. A device that could actually let us see the atoms and molecules that make up the structure of substances. Imagine the new discoveries we could make, the new materials we could develop and how much we could learn about ourselves and our universe.
The European Spallation Source is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The project includes the most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a five-tonne, helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 state-of-the-art neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a supercomputing data management and software development centre. In the context of its history and future as a scientific organisation, however, it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a brand-new Big Science organisation and we are building it from the ground up.
Come and build the future of Science with us!
About the role:
The ESS is at an exciting turning point. It is in transition from being a construction site, to being an operating facility. To help us realise our goal of being the most powerful neutron source in the world, we are now looking for a senior scientist or engineer to join the Linac Group with project responsibility for the normal-conducting section of the ESS linear accelerator.
In this role, you will be supported by a team of five technicians and engineers. The normal-conducting linac includes the ion source, low-energy beam transport, RFQ, medium-energy beam transport and drift-tube linac, and your responsibilty will also extend to all accelerator magnets. The manufacturing of these components, as well as their installation in the accelerator tunnel, is now almost complete. Commissioning with the low-intensity beam is under way, and operation with full beam power is planned to start in 2025 when the protons can be sent to the spallation target.
The scope of this role includes completing all installations and to continue with testing and commissioning, but also introducing improvements as needed to ensure reliable beam delivery from the normal-conducting linac after start of user operation in 2027. In addition, we have an ion-source test stand, which we will use for studies of beam stability and reliability and potential future developments. Your tasks will be managed and coordinated in close collaboration with the other groups of the Accelerator Division, with the Operations Division and with ESS in-kind partners. You will have responsibility for budget and the time schedule for these activities - as well as ensuring compliance with rules for health and safety - and for fulfilling ESS standards for engineering and documentation.
This is a full-time position based at the ESS Campus in Lund, Sweden.
About you:
To thrive with us in the Accelerator Division, you need to be driven, responsive and good at spotting both problems and opportunities. You need to be a highly motivated person who isn't afraid to get your hands dirty.
First and foremost, we need someone who is suitably qualified and experienced. This means appropriate technical qualifications, such as a PhD in Physics or a closely related subject. However, relevant experience in accelerator physics and associated technology is more critical than the formal qualification you hold.
For this position, we need someone with significant prior experience in the field of particle accelerators - including commissioning and operation. As this is a senior role, we also need someone who can being demonstrated organisational, managerial and team leadership experience from a similar type of big science facility.
We are building ESS from the ground up, so we need someone who is comfortable not only following procedures, but also creating them. We attach great importance to personality and attitude, so we're looking for a real team player: Someone who is sociable, has excellent communication skills, who likes to collaborate with different people and who is committed to helping this amazing project to realise its full potential. We need a hands-on self-starter who is able to work in a structured, orderly, responsible and - most importantly - safe way.
The working language of ESS is English and, for this role, we need someone who can start as soon as possible!
What can we offer?
Aside from the chance to work at truly unique big science project, you can also expect:
• An opportunity to contribute to the future discoveries within neutron science.
• A stunning, brand new workplace filled with innovative minds and brilliant people from across the globe.
• A challenging, innovative and stimulating work environment.
• Market competitive compensation that is individual and differentiated according to role, responsibilities, individual skills, abilities and achievements.
• 30 days of annual leave, as well as more than 10 days of public holiday and company days off or days with limited working hours.
• Monthly pension contributions on top of your salary.
• Flexible working arrangements and a real work-life balance.
