Engineer/Physicist

GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates one of the leading particle accelerators for science. In the next few years, the new FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) one of the world's largest research projects, will be built in international cooperation. GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work together in this international environment with a team of employees committed to ensuring each day to conduct world-class science.

The FRS/SFRS group is one of the major partners for nuclear physics experiments at the GSI accelerator facility. The group operates and maintains the fragment separator FRS and supports the development and preparations of the super-conducting fragment separator SFRS of the international accelerator facility FAIR. At both instruments, short-lived exotic nuclei are produced, separated and studied with modern detector systems. The FRS/SFRS group is integral part of large international scientific collaborations.
