Your responsibilities
The successful candidate will be involved in geodetic metrology for the precise survey, alignment, and collimation of physics experiment elements and their detectors with respect to nominal beamlines and interaction points. The work will take place in various experimental areas and facilities such as the LHC caverns and LHC experiments, and the ISOLDE facility. The candidate will be involved in the development of new integrated optical position monitoring systems for the alignment of components of physics experiments in space. (S)he will study the feasibility of their development and implementation. The candidate will contribute towards the design, implementation and accurate positioning of collimators used to protect instrumentation in high radiation environments. (S)he will also work on the survey and characterization of magnetic fields generated by the physics experiments.

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.
