The research conducted at the Department of Physics and Astronomy encompasses a wide range of physics topics, distributed over ten divisions. The department is located in the Ångström laboratory and employs nearly 400 people, 125 of whom are doctoral students. It offers a broad physics curriculum to undergraduate and graduate students, participation in nationally and internationally leading projects for researchers, and opportunities for partnership with industry and various outreach activities.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy invites applications for a Research Engineer position to work with mechanical design for particle accelerators and instrumentation. The Department of Physics and Astronomy is the second largest department at Uppsala University with more than 360 employees and 11 different divisions, situated at the Ångström Laboratory in Uppsala. The department is hosting the FREIA Laboratory that performs research towards future particle accelerators, with special focus on the European Spallation Source (ESS), the High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC at CERN, the development of free-electron lasers, and the development of ultra-fast electron diffraction (UED) instrument in Uppsala.
The candidate is offered the possibility to work in an exciting modern research area in physics and will have opportunities to interact and collaborate with leading groups in experimental physics and engineering.
The candidate will be posted at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), Oxfordshire, UK, and work at the laboratory’s spallation neutron source ISIS, for up to two years.
Subject Description: The candidate will, in collaboration with other members of the FREIA Laboratory, work on the design and development of advanced accelerators and instrumentation in general, and specifically on the specification and detailed mechanical design of critical components of two spallation-neutron instruments, the FREIA Instrument at ESS and the ZOOM Instrument at ISIS. New methods and new technologies need to be developed and followed-up during their implementation.
Work Description: Deliver engineering solutions satisfying the scientific requirements of the spallation-neutron instruments: engineering conceptual design, detailed mechanical design, procurement, testing, installation, commissioning. Regular reporting of the different development steps, regular communication with specialists on the different topics, at ISIS, ESS, FREIA and at other laboratories. Final reporting of the project. Projects are organized on national and international level and require travel.
