Applied Physicist (TE-MPE-PE-2026-85-GRAP)

Job description

Job Description You will play a key role in ensuring that advanced simulation tools accurately reflect experimental behaviour of superconducting magnet systems. You will work closely with experimental test teams and simulation developers to validate, analyse and improve computational models, with particular emphasis on quench protection and ramp loss phenomena in Low-Temperature Superconductor (LTS) and High-Temperature Superconductor (HTS) magnets. You will contribute to design, performance evaluation and analysis of Quench Protection on several High Field Magnets (HFM) developed at CERN. Your responsibilities: More information here . - Validate existing simulation tools against experimental data from superconducting magnet tests. - Perform and assess simulations related to quench protection and ramp loss. - Support the preparation of magnet test plans, including the definition of quench protection circuits. - Analyse data collected during tests; produce clear visualisations, summaries, and technical reports. - Provide structured feedback to simulation tool developers to improve model accuracy and usability. - Contribute to studies and tests of both LTS and HTS magnets. - This rol...
