Research Fellow in Cryogenics

For more than 30 years the Institute of Cryogenics has been actively engaged in fundamental and applied research in cryogenic engineering and superconductivity. The institute contains experts in cryogenic systems, thermodynamics and cryogenic coolers, cryogenic safety, handling of cryogen and enhanced heat transfer, and superconducting materials and applications. The synergy of such a wide range of expertise gives the Institute a unique strength in extending the frontier of cryogenic technology and developing multiple disciplinary research projects.

The position is associated with the EU Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) funded collaborative project, Hi-Lumi, http://hilumilhc.web.cern.ch/hilumilhc/index.html , a design study on the high luminosity upgrade of CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), based at Cern, Switzerland.

You will have a PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in, and a detailed understanding and knowledge of cryogenics. Knowledge of thermal environment design and control and experience of thermal transport measurement would be an advantage.

Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.
