CMS Radiation Simulation and Protection Physicist, Meyrin / Geneva, Switzerland (EP-CMX-SCI-2025-258-LD)

This senior-level position for a CMS Radiation Simulation and Protection Physicist requires a highly specialized skill set grounded in advanced physics and radiation protection principles. The role demands expertise in radiation simulation techniques, likely involving Monte Carlo methods and sophisticated computational modeling to assess radiation environments within the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment context. A doctorate-level education indicates deep theoretical knowledge and research experience in nuclear physics, particle physics, or a closely related discipline. The physicist must be proficient in applying radiation protection standards and safety protocols to ensure compliance with international and institutional regulations. Experience with radiation detectors, dosimetry, and shielding design is essential to effectively evaluate and mitigate radiation risks. Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret complex simulation data are critical, alongside proficiency in relevant programming languages and simulation software used in high-energy physics environments. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers and safety officers, is expected to integrate simulation results into practical protection strategies. Given the seniority, leadership in project management, mentoring junior staff, and contributing to scientific publications or presentations is also implied. The role is based in Meyrin/Geneva, Switzerland, suggesting familiarity with CERN’s operational frameworks and safety standards would be advantageous.
