Areas of education and research include technology, science, law, social sciences, economics, medicine, humanities, theology and performing arts. The university has around 38 000 students and 5 300 employees. Lund University is an active member of the leading international networks League of European Research Universities (LERU) and Universitas 21, and is one of twelve academic institutions within the resund University. Lund University also collaborates with many other universities and research centres worldwide. Lund University hereby declares the following vacancy open for application Research fellow/engineer in ECR ion source system studies for HPPA full time, two-year contract, placed at CEA, the French Atomic Energy Commission (Commissariat a l'energie atomique) in Saclay, France. During the first two years, the selected candidate will spend approximately 90 % of his/her time at CEA and 10 % in Lund, not including attendance at conferences, etc. After the initial two years of employment the employment contract may be transformed into a permanent position at ESS Scandinavia in Lund. Ref. No.: PA 2009/858 Start of employment: According to agreement CEA is a public body established in October 1945 by General de Gaulle. A leader in research, development and innovation, the CEA mission statement has two main objectives: To become the leading technological research organization in Europe and to ensure that the nuclear deterrent remains effective in the future. The CEA is active in three main fields: Energy, information and health technologies, and defense and national security. In each of these fields, the CEA maintains a cross-disciplinary culture of engineers and researchers, building on the synergies between fundamental and technological research. European Spallation Source will be a multi-disciplinary research centre, the global leader in its field. ESS will open new windows in a large array of scientific disciplines. The ambition of ESS Scandinavia is that the ESS be built in Lund. European Spallation Source (ESS) will, if realized, be the premier neutron source in the world and provide scientists with unique and powerful neutron scattering tools for studying the properties of materials and molecules - knowledge which is essential for growth in strategic areas such as nanotechnology, hardware for information technology, energy technology and life science and biotechnology. The scientific and technical case of the ESS has since 1993 been developed by the ESS-Council, an organization formed by 18 large laboratories in 11 European countries. Description This activity falls within the framework of studies on high-intensity linear accelerators at CEA. It specifically concerns the design of high-current proton source used in the front end of such machine. The work will involve theoretical studies, simulations using beam transport code, magnet and extraction system design. A participation in the construction and testing of the prototype equipment is expected after the industry follow-up of the component realisation.
