Join CERN’s Linear and Non-Linear Optics (LNO) Section within the Accelerator and Beam Physics (ABP) Group as a Software Developer, Beam Optics. You will develop software and analysis tools to enable precise beam optics measurements and corrections and contribute to commissioning procedures for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). Responsibilities include maintaining and extending the core Optics Measurement and Correction (OMC) framework and toolset used during LHC commissioning and operation; exploring software solutions to improve the efficiency and capability of optics measurements and corrections; updating accelerator model creation and correction algorithms to utilize new simulation tools; exploring automation for key measurement and analysis workflows; developing new GUIs and analysis tools for use in the CERN Control Centre during optics commissioning; and participating in the analysis of optics measurements in CERN accelerators. Requirements include a background in Python programming and software design, familiarity with version control systems (GitHub), and experience with GUI development. Knowledge of particle accelerator physics is advantageous. Fluency in English or French with a willingness to learn the other language. Eligibility requires being a citizen of a CERN Member or Associate Member State; a Master’s degree with 2–6 years of post-graduation professional experience or a PhD with up to 3 years of post-graduation experience; and not having previously held a CERN fellowship or graduate contract. We offer a monthly compensation of CHF 6,372
