Accelerator Operator Assistant - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Would you like to operate one of the brightest light sources in the world?

As a member of the Operations Group you will work as an operator of the three MAX IV accelerators to provide the required beam conditions for our beamlines and accelerator physicists. This role consists entirely of shift work, with operator coverage needed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We are looking to hire for a full-time position, but can be open for a lower scope if the candidate is interested. Probationary period may apply.

Your tasks will include:

• Operation of the MAX-IV accelerators according to the agreed weekly plans
• Maintaining, as far as possible, the nominal beam conditions during delivery periods
• Documenting issues and actions as they arise
• Troubleshooting system failures
• Handover to incoming operators on shift changes
• Act as the on-site radiation safety officer when required

Qualifications
You have a Bachelors degree in physics or an engineering discipline and/or have experience in the operation of large, complex facilities. Previous experience in the operation of accelerators in synchrotron facilities is a considerable advantage.

You enjoy programming, and have experience with Python, and/or Matlab.

You perform well as a shift worker, and are happy to work during evenings, nights, as well as during the weekend.

As a person you have strong communications skills and are comfortable solving problems within a team. You consider yourself to be a careful and efficient problem solver, naturally balancing the risks and rewards of various solutions to find the best way forward.
