Technical Manager

NWO-I NWO-I Intranet
- Technical Manager Superconducting Magnet Technology (f/m/x)
Nijmegen
About the role
At HFML-FELIX, a unique international research facility, our mission is to perform groundbreaking research by enabling molecules and materials to be taken to the extremes of modern-day technology both in terms of (persistent) magnetic field strength and intense radiation in the infrared and terahertz (THz) range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our scientists and engineers are closely working together to enable new scientific discoveries using cutting-edge and innovative instrumentation. In the near future, an experienced colleague in our magnet development team will retire, and we are therefore looking for a Technical Manager Superconducting Magnet Technology who will lead the magnet development activities and the application of superconducting technologies.
The role
In this role, you will contribute to the continued development and exploitation of our 45 Tesla hybrid magnet and help shape a future magnet development program focused on superconducting materials. You have expertise in superconducting magnets and play a key role in connecting research, technology development, and international collaboration. You are a source of information on your area of expertise and work closely with engineers within HFML-FELIX to help resolve complex technical issues and bottlenecks.
A central part of the position is building and expanding existing collaborations on next-generation superconducting materials and magnet development. You will also engage with international partners within the high-field magnet community, including collaborations within European Magnetic Field Laboratory .
What you will do -
Contribute to the development and usage of our 45 Tesla hybrid magnet. -
Help establish and develop a magnet program focused on superconducting materials together with partners. -
