MAX IV operates two storage rings and a linear accelerator to produce synchrotron radiation. Its largest accelerator, the 3 GeV electron storage ring, was the first in the world to use a multi-bend-achromat lattice, enabling ultrahigh-brightness light with extremely low emittance. Only a few such next-generation storage rings exist today, though many facilities worldwide are now upgrading in this direction.
To stay at the forefront, MAX IV is designing a major upgrade of the 3 GeV ring, called MAX 4U, aiming to deliver outstanding improvements in lightsource performance. This includes the development of innovative magnet and RF systems.
MAX IV is looking for an Electromagnetic Systems Engineer/Physicist to contribute to the development of new electromagnetic systems for MAX IV and MAX 4U, with the opportunity to gradually take on increased technical responsibility for key accelerator components.
Your team
You will be working in the Accelerator Development group consisting of a wide variety of experts within the accelerator field, including accelerator physicists, high –frequency structure and magnet experts, and laser experts. The Accelerator Development team is a part of MAX IV Accelerator Division, which is responsible for developing and operating all accelerator-based light sources at MAX IV. This division is also charged with carrying out the major accelerator upgrade in the MAX 4U project.
About The RoleElectromagnetic systems are essential to the performance and development of the MAX IV accelerators. Their reliability and precision are key to stable operation and high-quality light delivery to our users. As part of MAX 4U, several advanced accelerator systems will be developed and commissioned. We are therefore looking for an Electromagnetic Systems Engineer/Physicist who will play a key role in these developments while strengthening MAX IV’s in-house expertise and supporting our existing accelerator systems.
Would you like to help develop the next generation of accelerator technology at one of the brightest light sources in the world?
