Didcot, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom UK Research and Innovation Full time

About the Role

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is seeking a highly motivated and skilled individual to join the ISIS muon group as an industrial placement student. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project, simulating and designing a new low energy muon beamline at ISIS.

Key Responsibilities

  • Work together with ISIS scientists to simulate and optimize a new low energy muon beamline and instrument at ISIS.
  • Develop an understanding of how to use Geant4 and G4beamline to simulate charged particle beams.
  • Quantify how efficiently the beamline can slow muons for use in materials science experiments.
  • Work with ISIS and visiting scientists on any related experiments being carried out during the placement.

About the Scheme

STFC's industrial placement scheme offers a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in a real-world research environment. As an industrial placement student, you will be exposed to exciting projects and challenges from the start and will have the opportunity to work alongside world-leading engineers, scientists, and technicians.
