Do you enjoy working with complex systems where safety and precision are paramount? We invite you to join the fascinating world of particle accelerators! This is an opportunity to join the Accelerator Systems Department (SY), specifically the Accelerator Beam Transfer Group (ABT).

As part of the Controls & Automation Technologies (CAT) section, you will join a team of industrial automation and embedded system experts.

Your mission will be to implement and commission particle beam transfer processes using a sophisticated blend of industrial automation and bespoke in-house equipment.

As a Graduate, you will have the unique opportunity to broaden your horizons. You may dedicate up to 20% of your time to cross-disciplinary projects, including real-time control systems, data analysis, or ML-based anomaly detection.

Furthermore, we encourage professional growth through student supervision, public outreach (guiding visitors to our accelerators), participation to conferences, or deep-diving into specialised technical expertise.
