Accelerator physicist in single particle dynamics

Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top 100 universities. The University has 40 000 students and 8 160 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.


MAX IV is a Swedish national large-scale research laboratory hosted by Lund University. It provides scientists from Sweden as well as internationally, with state-of-the-art instrumentation for research in areas such as engineering, physics, structural biology, chemistry and nanotechnology. Fully developed it will receive more than 2 000 scientists annually, conducting ground-breaking experiments in materials and life sciences using the brilliant X-ray light.



Tasks
The successful candidate will work in collaboration with other MAX IV staff to perform tasks including:

- Single particle dynamics studies for possible magnet lattices in a future upgrade of the MAX IV 3 GeV ring.

- Experimental studies and operation of the two storage rings at MAX IV Laboratory.
- Theoretical and experimental work on linear and non-linear dynamics aimed at understanding the underlying physics and pushing the performance of the two MAX IV rings to best possible level.
- Implementation and diagnose of linear and non-linear lattice corrections related to insertion devices.
- Supervision of student work

Qualifications
The successful candidate shall have the following qualifications:

- PhD in accelerator physics or equivalent
- Demonstrated experience in theoretical modelling and experimental studies of particle beam dynamics in electron storage rings
- Ability to work both independently, and to work in collaboration with engineering, operation and physics experts
- Very good skills in English, both oral and written

General
To be successful and perform well in this position you have a thorough and systematic way of working and are quality oriented. You have the capability to work independently but you also like to work and contribute to a team. If you are from abroad, willingness to learn Swedish will facilitate future teamwork.
