Team / Beschreibung

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. The HSE department supports CERN in the implementation and application of its Safety Policy. Within this group, you will join the General Safety and Equipment Integrity (GI) section, and be one of the CERN specialists for Chemical Safety, joining a multidisciplinary team of Safety experts.
