The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a major science and technology infrastructure project currently under construction. The most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a five-ton helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 cutting-edge neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a supercomputing data management and software development centre are all part of the project. However, in the context of its history and future as a scientific organisation, it is greater than the sum of its parts. We are creating a brand new Big Science organisation from the ground up.
ESS is always looking for motivated and inspired people to help design, build, and operate the world's most powerful neutron source. We are looking for ambitious, talented individuals in a variety of fields who are enthusiastic about contributing to Europe's scientific future.
The Detector Group of the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, invites applications for a summer internship position.
Desciption of main responsibilities and qualifications
The Detector Group's mission as a cutting-edge research group is to enable excellent science through detector technology innovation.
