The
European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, is a
European research organization that operates the largest particle
physics laboratory in the world. Established in 1954, the organization
is based in a northwest suburb of Geneva on the Franco–Swiss border, and
has 22 member states. Israel is the only non-European country granted
full membership. CERN is an official United Nations Observer.
At
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and
engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using
the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study
the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made
to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives
physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights
into the fundamental laws of nature.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization.
This Programme is aimed at graduates from universities or higher technical institutes in a wide range of applied sciences, computing and engineering with limited or no work experience, looking to work in a research group.
Please note that you are applying for a programme and not a specific job. In order to help us offer you an interesting work project, we recommend that you let us know how your research interests and skills relate to CERN’s diverse activities. You can include this during the online application process form or in a separate motivation letter.
