Arbetsbeskrivning

What you'll do As a Radiation Protection Physicist in the RP Accelerators and Sites (RP-AS) Section, you will assess and enforce compliance of CERN's activities with Radiation Protection regulations. It entails projects, studies and services aimed at protecting people and the environment from ionising radiation, specifically in the context of studies carried out for the Future Circular Collider (FCC). Your responsibilities Perform studies and contribute to design optimisations in collaboration with other groups for the FCC Project. Monitor project developments with an emphasis on radiation protection for the public and the environment. Calculate doses to members of the public using established environmental and radiological models. Lead or participate in RP research and development, particularly the development, use and maintenance of models, computer codes, state-of-the-art tools and methods for radiological environmental impact assessments for the FCC Project. Produce, contribute to, or edit legal, technical and scientific documentation, including rules, specifications, reports, notes, international publications and presentations for internal and external use. Provide expertise to CERN's departments and management on radiation protection and radiological environmental aspects of the design, operation and maintenance of future accelerators and experiments. Present assessments to host state authorities in the framework of the Tripartite agreement. Supervise or coordinate the work of postdocs and students. Your profile Solid foundation in nuclear and/or radiation physics. Proven experience in radiological environmental impact assessments, or the ability to master the subject rapidly. Familiarity with the radiation protection framework recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Proficiency in C++ or Python, or the capacity to quickly acquire expertise in the other language. Experience with high-performance computing and working with Linux is advantageous. Experience with Monte-Carlo particle transport codes and/or codes for assessing the environmental impact of radiation is advantageous. Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Physics or Nuclear Engineering or a related field. Your skills Environmental protection - assessment of radiation environments i.e. calculation of external doses to members of the public from prompt radiation and induced radioactivity around high-energy accelerators. Knowledge and application of instrumentation and measurement techniques (i.e. for ionising radiation). Knowledge of dosimetry in mixed radiation fields. Study of radiation protection design. Knowledge of regulatory framework and best practice in radiation protection, in particular environmental radiation protection and knowledge of national radiation protection legislation and/or relevant European regulations. Works well in groups and readily fits into a team; participates fully and takes an active role in team activities. Has a structured and organised approach towards work; is able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind. Expresses opinions, ideas and suggestions with conviction and in a logical/structured manner; keeps to the point. Keeps up-to-date with developments in own field of expertise and readily absorbs new information. Employment conditions A valid driving licence. Interventions in underground installations. Work in Radiation Areas.
