CELLS is looking for a scientist to be incorporated in the Beam Dynamics Group of ALBA, in the Accelerator Division.

Location: Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain).

We promote diversity and inclusion: one of the goals of our gender equality plan is to reach parity within the Consortium’s different divisions and offices, and several actions have been taken to encourage applications from women, mostly in scientific, engineering and technical job positions.

Key functions

• Take part in the beam dynamics design and simulations of the ALBA accelerators, including the new multi‑bend achromat ultra‑low emittance storage ring, ALBA II.
• Extensive physics studies and numerical simulations for accelerators lattice optimizations.
• Particle tracking and simulations studies, both for linear lattice design and for dynamic aperture and lifetime optimizations.
• Use of accelerator codes such as AT, MADX and Elegant. <...
