Research Fellowship: Applied Physics and Engineering

You conduct post-doctoral research activities in applied physics and engineering within CERN’s Experimental Physics (EP) Department. You contribute to the design, development, deployment and operation of physics experiments or experimental setups. You collaborate with physicists, engineers and technical experts on large-scale experimental projects involving advanced technologies. You contribute to the analysis, documentation and dissemination of results within the experimental collaborations.

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.
