CERN Courier Editor

Lead, sign off and develop the strategic direction of the CERN Courier. Liaise with the CERN and global high-energy physics communities to keep the magazine at the forefront of particle physics and neighbouring fields. Commission and edit expert-authored feature articles. Write news, features and other articles. Carry out picture research, fact check, proofread. Manage and grow the cerncourier.com website and @CERNCourier social media accounts. Supervise and mentor the magazine’s editorial team. Collaborate closely with the remote production manager and the in-house marketing officer, as well as teams across CERN.

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 Stakeholder Relations Sector (SR), Education, Communications and Outreach (ECO) group is responsible for generating public engagement with CERN’s activities and with fundamental research, fostering community-building and raising awareness of CERN’s societal impact. The group is composed of professionals covering all its activities: writers, media officers, graphic and web designers, social media specialists, education specialists, exhibition developers, photographers and video editors, as well as event organisers.
