Your responsibilities
You will join the Radio-Frequency (RF) Group in the Accelerator Systems (SY) Department is responsible for the operation of existing RF systems across the CERN accelerator chain and the conception of new RF systems for projects and studies.
To study beam motion in synchrotrons, the Beam Longitudinal Dynamics (BLonD) simulator has been developed in the Beams and RF Studies (BR) section for over ten years. BLonD has been a key tool at CERN, and also in the worldwide user community, to model countless operational and future beam dynamics problems. The BLonD package applies several high-performance computing techniques such as dynamic load balancing and approximate computing. The code and its user base keeps on expanding, asking for creative, state-of-the art solutions to maintain a good runtime performance.
As the main BLonD developer, you will:

What we offer
About us
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
