Applied Physicist - Future Superconducting Detector Magnets (EP-CMS-IC-2026-99-GRAP)

Job Description

This project focuses on the conceptual designs and conductor studies for large superconducting detector magnets planned for the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) at CERN, the proposed successor to the Large Hadron Collider. The work involves designing large superconducting solenoids that generate strong magnetic fields to help identify and measure particles produced in electron-positron collisions. Responsibilities include analytical and finite‑element studies of magnet windings, including thermal behaviour, cryogenic cooling and mechanical performance. The role also includes supporting conductor R&D through studies and prototyping of low- and high‑temperature superconductors. Additional tasks involve manufacturing, testing and characterising conductor samples for their superconducting, thermal, electrical and mechanical properties.
