Appointment to the position of postdoc requires that the applicant has a PhD, or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position, completed no more than three years before the agreed first day of employment. Under special circumstances the PhD can have been completed before the three years.

Further information
This is full-time, fixed-term employment. A postdoctoral fellow is employed for at least two years and at most three years. A notice period of six months applies for both parties, in case of early termination of the contract. The period of employment is determined in accordance with the agreement “Avtal om tidsbegränsad anställning som postdoktor-2022-02-01” (“Agreement on fixed-term employment as a post-doctoral fellow, 2022-02-01”).

The European Spallation Source is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The project includes the most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a five-tonne, helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 state-of-the-art neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a supercomputing data management and software development centre. In the context of its history and future as a scientific organisation, however, it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a brand-new Big Science organisation and we are building it from the ground up.

Come and build the future of Science with us!

About the role:

The ESS is at an exciting turning point. It is in transition from being a construction site, to being an operating facility. The Technical Directorate is now inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Accelerator Physics to focus on the design work on the accumulator and compressor rings for a future Muon facility. This opportunity is in collaboration with Uppsala University's FREIA laboratory.

Uppsala is a comprehensive, research-intensive university with a strong international standing with a goal to conduct education and research of the highest quality and relevance to make a long-term difference in society. The FREIA Laboratory is developing and testing a new particle accelerator and detector. The research and development work is closely linked to ESS and has around 30 employees, including researchers, engineers and PhD students. You can learn more about the FREIA Lab here. 

Accelerator physics groups at ESS and the FREIA Lab are actively working on the development of future particle accelerators for physics research. In this project, you will perform beam dynamics studies for the accumulator and compressor rings of a Muon Collider – which is an EU-funded design project. More on the Muon Collider can be found here.

The successful candidate will work with a team of experienced researchers and scientific staff at ESS, FREIA - and also CERN - and will acquire broad experience in accelerator physics, and in magnet and radio-frequency technologies. Hence, we are looking for a highly-motivated candidate who has an excellent record of studies and a broad background in physics or engineering. Your tasks will include analysis of the beam lattices of existing high-power proton and ion accelerators; critical comparison of existing and proposed proton and ion rings; design and beam dynamics simulations on accumulator and compressor rings, as well as documentation of ongoing work, writing of academic articles and technical reports.

This is a fixed-term position for a period of two years. You will be based at the ESS Campus in Lund, Sweden - but the role will also involve short, frequent visits to Uppsala University.

About you:

To be considered for this role, you must have a doctoral degree in physics or similarly related area as well as experience in accelerator physics – experience in beam dynamics of high intensity and space charge dominated beams is considered an advantage. We need someone with the ability to perform independent research, demonstrated through publications in peer-reviewed journals and/or at important conferences in the accelerator domain. Solid knowledge of particle tracking and beam optics codes would be a distinct advantage.

Prior knowledge of programming and/or data analysis using Python or MatLab, MadX, Orbit or other lattice/ring design codes would be beneficial. We also expect that you are skilled in high-quality academic writing and able to express yourself - and the summaries of your work - in a clear and structured manner. You also need to be able to document workflows in a way that is searchable and easy to understand for other group members.

At ESS, we attach great importance to personality and attitude, so we're looking for a real team player: Someone who is sociable, has excellent communication skills, who likes to collaborate in helping this amazing project realise its full potential.

What can we offer?

Aside from the chance to work at truly unique big science project, you can also expect:


• An opportunity to contribute to the future discoveries within neutron science.
• A stunning, brand new workplace filled with innovative minds and brilliant people from across the globe.
• A challenging, innovative and stimulating work environment.
• Market competitive compensation that is individual and differentiated according to role, responsibilities, individual skills, abilities and achievements.
• 30 days of annual leave, as well as more than 10 days of public holiday and company days off or days with limited working hours.
• Monthly pension contributions on top of your salary.
• Flexible working arrangements and a real work-life balance.
