Applied Physicist (TE-MSC-HSD-2026-10-GRAP)

Are you an applied physicist eager to work at the cutting edge of superconducting magnet technology? You will contribute to the electromagnetic modelling, optimisation, and experimental characterisation of High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) REBCO cables and coils within CERN's High Field Magnet (HFM) programme. Your work will combine numerical modelling with hands-on experimental activities, directly supporting the development of next-generation high-field accelerator magnets.

Your responsibilities

• Perform electromagnetic and multi-physics finite-element modelling of HTS cables and coils.
• Investigate experimentally and theoretically the effects of twist and transposition on HTS conductors.
• Characterise HTS cables and coils at cryogenic temperatures (77 K and 4.2 K).
• Carry out cabling of HTS conductors and winding of HTS coils.
• Optimise HTS cable and coil designs based on modelling a...
