JINR Distinguished Postdoctoral Research

Fellowship Programme

Сall for applications

Missions

The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is seeking for outstanding

postdoctoral fellows and announces a call for applications for a

number of vacant scientific research positions. The new positions are

opened within a special Programme aimed at reinforcing the scientific

personnel involved in realization of the JINR top-priority projects

in the fields of theoretical and experimental physics of elementary

particles, relativistic heavy-ion physics, nuclear physics, condensed

matter physics, and radiobiology.

The Programme facilitates an opportunity for early-stage researchers

pursuing science and engineering topics to be exposed and get

involved in the forefront international projects in science and technical

advancements at JINR Dubna. Detailed information about the Institute

can be found at the JINR web site http://www.jinr.ru.

Skills

The successful applicant is expected to have experience and a solid

background in nuclear or particle physics, or in a closely related field

(including a recent PhD degree).

The successful applicant should be able to work well in an

international environment, such as large multinational collaborations.

The applicant will also be expected to take on responsibilities with the

experiments and the analysis work and should be able to work, when

needed, independently.

The original appointment will be for up to three years. The stipend will

be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Activities and Work Context

The Programme will allow maximizing the benefit by exploiting at

best the research and training opportunities created by the JINR

projects. This includes a broad range of topics such as neutrino and

nuclear physics, biophysics, material research (including nano), high-

performance computing, accelerator technology, superconducting

magnets, theory.

Closing Date

The review of applications will begin on 01.09.2019 and will continue

until the opportunities are filled.

Please circulate this information to any colleagues you may feel could

be interested.

Further details for applications are made via the employment platforms

of JINR Laboratories for respective vacancies:

GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in

Darmstadt operates one of the leading particle accelerators for

science. In the next few years, the new FAIR (Facility for Anti-

proton 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 en-

vironment with a team of employees committed to enabling

world-class science.

The department “System  Design” within the subproject

“SIS100/SIS18” is responsible for design and development as

well as control of the heavy ion synchrotrons in the GSI and

FAIR facilities. For this department we are seeking as early as

possible an

Accelerator Physicist   with    Experience  at

Circular    Accelerators    (m/f/d)

Posting ID: 6330-19.80

Responsibilities:

• Perform beam dynamics simulations aimed at design and
  development, optimization of operation, and the provi-
  sion of data for the control of the synchrotrons.


• Plan, execute, and analyse machine experiments to
  optimize high intensity operation of the synchrotrons by
  improving the machine models used to control them.


• Develop and test algorithms for software-assisted meas-
  urement and feedback systems for beam-based monitor-
  ing, adjustment, and optimization of the synchrotrons.

Qualifications and Skills:

• PhD in physics or a related field, considerable knowledge
  in accelerator physics and years of demonstrated
  experience with simulation and operation of circular
  accelerators.


• Ideally, experience with ion optical simulation of non-lin-
  ear effects, especially slow extraction, and practical
  experience with optimization of space charge dominated
  circular accelerators with respect to beam loss.


• Structured work habit, excellent team working, business
  fluent English and the willingness to learn German.

The position is initially limited to a duration of 5 years. 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.

Please send your application stating the posting-ID at the

latest until 9  August   2019 to:

GSI Helmholtzzentrum    für Schwerionenforschung    GmbH    

Abteilung   Personal    

Planckstraße     1  

64291   Darmstadt
