Engineer or Physicist for supervision of superconducting magnet production and the testing

The GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research (Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung), a member of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, is one of the largest investigation centres in Germany. The laboratory consists of a system of heavy-ion accelerators, storage rings, separators, as well as high-energy lasers. GSI researchers and international collaborators perform basic and applied research in physics and related natural science disciplines. Main fields of study include plasma physics, atomic physics, nuclear structure and reactions research, biophysics and medical research.

The upcoming Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), one of the world’s largest research projects, will extend the existing accelerator complex and widen enormously the research area of the laboratory. FAIR is being built in the frame of international cooperation. GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work together in an international environment with a team of employees committed to ensuring forefront science.

In the department of Superconducting Magnets (SCM) we are looking for a
