Job Description
The GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research (Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung), a member of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, is one of the largest investigation centres in Germany. The laboratory consists of a system of heavy-ion accelerators, storage rings, separators, as well as high-energy lasers. GSI researchers and international collaborators perform basic and applied research in physics and related natural science disciplines. Main fields of study include plasma physics, atomic physics, nuclear structure and reactions research, biophysics and medical research.
The upcoming Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), one of the world's largest research projects, will extend the existing accelerator complex and widen enormously the research area of the laboratory. FAIR is being built in the frame of international cooperation. GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work together in an international environment with a team of employees committed to ensuring forefront science.
In the department of Superconducting Magnets (SCM) we are looking for a
Engineer or Physicist
for supervision of superconducting magnet production and the testing
Reference: 25.23-6352
The superconducting magnet will be produced by industrial partners. The acceptance test will be executed under responsibility of FAIR. The successful candidate will be appointed to:
- supervision of the superconducting magnet design, production steps, factory acceptance tests,
- coordination of experts for design reviews and production inspections, test programs,
- approval of factory acceptance tests,
- coordination of the transport of the magnet components and related components,
- coordination of the assembly of the magnet and the relevant systems at FAIR,
- coordination of the site acceptance test,
- control of technical documentation, test protocols, and acceptance protocols,
- contact person to the manufacturer, transport companies, and relevant GSI departments
- all administrative aspects with GSI administration departments
The supervision of production of superconducting magnets and the testing is conducted by a specialist, an engineer or scientist, with experience in this field, familiar with projects in an international environment. His/her responsibility is to follow-up the magnet production, coordinate the testing of superconducting magnet and related components at FAIR.
The successful candidate has:
