We are ooking for a nuclear physicist (or similar) to take charge of development and characterization of radioactive ion beam (RIB) produced at CERN-ISOLDE. ISOLDE is an experiment dedicated to the production of radioactive ion beams for physics research using the isotope separation on-line (ISOL) method.

In this position, you will:

• lead the development and characterization of radioactive ion beams produced at ISOLDE;
• support the coordination and characterization of targets and respective RIBs using the ISOLDE infrastructure;
• support the implementation of a second fast tape station as a complementary tool for more access to beam characterization;
• implement an implantation setup as well as an alpha decay spectroscopy setup for the study of long-lived and alpha-decaying nuclei;
• manage the weekly yield measurement campaigns, manage the user driven demand for new RIB deliveries and take part in the proton-energy upgrade study.

Skills and/or knowledge

• Knowledge of Python, Labview, ORACLE and GIT;
• Knowledge of mass spectroscopy, ion sources and nuclear decay spectroscopy;
• Experience in project management;
• Experience with detector technology (alpha, HPGe, beta) would be an advantage

You have a professional background in Applied Physics (or a related field) and have either:

• a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
• or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
