Job Description
Introduction
With a total of 130 km of vacuum vessel, CERN operates one of the largest vacuum systems in the world. Are you ready to operate such a system, in particular the sections operating at cryogenic temperatures and those injecting proton beams in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)? Are you interested in pursuing developments in materials and treatments for thermal insulation of cryogenic fluids with potential applications beyond particle accelerators? Then come and join the Vacuum, Surfaces and Coatings Group Take part
The Vacuum, Surfaces and Coatings Group is responsible for all high and ultra-high vacuum systems for the CERN accelerators. Its mandate covers all activities from development to operation, including design, production and procurement, surface engineering and analysis, acceptance tests, control and monitoring. The Insulation & Injector Vacuum Operation section (IVO) takes care of the operation and upgrade of vacuum systems that are essential for CERN accelerators, including those of cryostats of superconducting magnets and those of the Large-Hadron-Collider (LHC) injection chain. The IVO section is also active in knowledge transfer programmes involving industries and other laboratories.
