Data Scientist (EN-MME-EDM-2024-175-GRAE)

Your responsibilities

Are you a Data Scientist with a passion for Engineering?

Join CERN's Laboratory of Mechanical Measurements, part of the Mechanical and Materials Engineering Group (EN-MME-EDM), and composed of 10 people.
The lab is specialised in measurements of mechanical stresses and strains, of displacements, pressures and vibrations applicable to a wide range of components and devices for present and future high energy physics projects. The measurements are carried out in a large variety of environments, including cryogenic temperatures, high radiation environments and high magnetic fields. The laboratory develops and performs these measurements on superconducting magnets, detectors of LHC experiments and prototypes for future upgrades, including high field accelerator magnets and accelerating structures.

The Data Scientist will be involved in the FCC vibration stability studies related to the Arc Half Cell mock-up project. To achieve the beam stability requirements, several new tools for fast measurements, platforms to host large sets of data and algorithms to post-process the data will be developed and/or consolidated to assess the dynamic stability of FCC sub-systems such as girder, magnets and supporting systems. The candidate will regularly contribute to meetings and reports on the progress of their research. The main results will be summarised in several reports for each activity and included in a final report for the project management's consideration.

About us

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
