Description

As a Radiation Protection Physicist, you will engage in complex studies and simulations to ensure safety during the Large Hadron Collider's upgrades. Your role involves analyzing radiation levels, supporting operational teams, and sharing findings at conferences.

Requirements

• •Experience in radiation physics and radiation protection
• •Proven experience with Monte Carlo simulation codes for radiation transport, preferably with FLUKA
• •Experience in programming, ideally with Python
• •Data analysis/visualisation skills, ideally with Python
• •Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams
• •Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• •Spoken and written English, commitment to learn French
• •National of a CERN Member or Associate Member State
• •Professional background in Physics or Energy/Nuclear Engineering, with Master's degree and 2 to 6 years of experience, or PhD with no more than 3 years of experience
• •No previous CERN fellow or graduate contract
• •Work in Radiation Areas
• •Interventions in underground installations
• •A valid driving licence

Tasks

• •Perform complex radiation protection studies using the FLUKA Monte Carlo particle transport code
• •Develop and update input files and models with the Line Builder tool
• •Estimate residual radiation levels in complex exposure situations using the SESAME tool
• •Compute activation of beam line components using ActiWiz/FCC tools, focusing on LHC collimation insertion regions
• •Lead radiation protection studies for the SND and FASER experiments upgrade
• •Benchmark Monte Carlo simulation results by developing data analysis scripts
• •Support the LHC operational radiation protection team with simulation data
• •Participate in on-site LS3 preparatory visits and worksites
• •Regularly report findings to your supervisor
• •Produce reports and technical notes, and present work in project meetings
• •Present scientific results at conferences and in publications
