Stillingsbeskrivelse:
The University of Oslo is Norway’s largest institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees. Its broad range of academic disciplines and internationally esteemed research communities make UiO an important contributor to society.

A permanent full-time position as Principal / Head Engineer is available at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

About the position:

The position is linked to the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory (OCL) at The Department of Physics. The laboratory hosts the only research accelerator in Norway, which is used for fundamental research in nuclear physics and various applications such as radiation hardness testing and the production of radioisotopes for medical and technical purposes. The cyclotron is used by researchers from the University and their world-wide collaborators in an international top-level research environment. The accelerator laboratory also plays an important role in the education of Master and PhD students.

More information about the laboratory can be found here: http://www.mn.uio.no/fysikk/english/research/groups/nuclear/

Tasks:

The main task is participation in the daily operation and technical maintenance of the cyclotron. This includes:

• Operation of the accelerator.
• Fault finding and maintenance of electronic equipment, including high frequency and high voltage equipment.
• Development of control systems for electronic equipment.
• Technical documentation.
• Responsibility for maintenance of mechanical, cooling and vacuum equipment.

The work requires close collaboration with other engineers and researchers at the cyclotron laboratory and with engineers and technical personnel at the electronics workshop and instrument workshop at the Department of Physics.

Qualifications:

• Higher education as electronics engineer from a university or university college. Minimum requirement is a Bachelor degree, but a Master degree would be valued. Relevant work experience can partially replace formal requirements.
• Good knowledge and practical experience in electronics.
• Experience with high-power RF equipment.
• Ability to work in a well-organized and resourceful way.

It will be an advantage if the candidate in addition has experience with:

• Automatization and control systems (SCADA systems).
• Programming in LabVIEW.
• Mechanics and metal working.
• Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) and radiation protection.

The successful candidate must thrive with independent development tasks, and at the same time work well in a multi-disciplinary team.

The vacancy is announced as a Principal Engineer (SKO 1085) position, but for particularly competent candidates with documented skills and experience a position as Head Engineer (SKO 1087) may be considered.
