Experimental program coordinator for MEDICIS and PRISMAP

Company Description
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of theuniverse. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamentalparticles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact,and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.

Job Description
Introduction
Are you willing to coordinate exciting experiments and new technical developments in mass separation of medical radionuclides?

You will be working within the STI Group, which holds a broad expertise on the interaction of beams with matter and applies its know-how to a large spectrum of activities including particle production, beam intercepting devices, studies on beam-matter interaction andnuclear engineering. You will be in the
RBS Section, which manages the technical coordination of the infrastructures, develops thetargets and ion sources for radioactive ion beam productions and manages a class A work sector for nuclear material handling.

Functions
As MEDICIS experimental program coordinator, you will:
-Take an active role in the technical upgrades in the facility and implement the experimental program.
-Elaborate the planning, monitor the progress and liaise with the external institutes receiving radionuclides for their research program,taking into consideration resources and operational constraints.
-Liaise with the teams in charge of the operation, safety and the technical infrastructures.
-In the PRISMAP coordination team, provide input on the MEDICIS program and technical capacity of the infrastructure with respectto requests and developments ongoing in PRISMAP.
-Take part in the developments of the target - ion sources - units and technical infrastructures beyond Run 3 operation, addressingfuture needs of the Organization as they may arise.

As PRISMAP experimental program coordinator (technical manager), you will:
-Participate in regular meetings and take an active part in the selection of user projects and overall planning of the isotope productionacross the consortium.

Qualifications
Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of nuclear physics, nuclear engineering, nuclear materials, or radiochemistry or a related field.

Experience:
-Demonstrated experience in the field of radionuclide production and purification;
-Demonstrated experience in the management of scientific collaborations or projects involving several institutes;
-Keen interest in medical applications of radioisotopes;
-Knowledge of the Isotope mass separation ISOL technique and operation of related facilities is an additional asset.

Technical competencies:
-Knowledge and application of nuclear physics: ,in addition to nuclear chemistry.
-Knowledge and application of biomedical physics: ,in addition to biomedical chemistry.
-Simulation, design and development of beam sources: , in particular of target and ion beam sources for radioisotopes.
-Operation and support of experimental facilities.

Behavioural competencies:
-Achieving results: producing comprehensive work / project plans taking into account resources and contingencies; dividing extensivework / projects into manageable sub-tasks with clearly defined milestones; having a structured and organised approach towardswork; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind.
-Communicating effectively: demonstrating a pro-active approach to resolving differences; addressing issues of conflict constructively;ensuring that information, procedures and decisions are appropriately documented; leveraging support networks across theOrganization.
-Working in teams: working well in groups and readily fitting into a team; participating fully and taking an active role in team activities;cooperating constructively with others in the pursuit of team goals; balancing personal goals with team goals.
-Solving problems: recognizing what is essential; discriminating between important and peripheral information and being able to seethe whole picture; testing solutions for long-term suitability, cross-checking with all concerned before implementation.
-Working in the interest of the Organization: setting ambitious, challenging but realistic goals; being ready to take initiatives andcalculated risks in the interest of CERN; focusing on the broader picture; being able to set aside individual or team needs in theinterest of the Organization; promoting synergy and cooperation between the various parts of the Organization.

Language skills:
-Spoken and written English: ability to understand and speak the other language in professional contexts. Ability to draw-up technicalspecifications and/or scientific reports and to make oral presentations
-Basic knowledge of French language or an undertaking to acquire it rapidly.
