**Job Description**:
**Take part in CERN’s Non-Member State PhD Studentship Scheme**
Imagine getting involved in cutting-edge research and technology before you have left university. Imagine working in an international environment, acquiring skills to bring back to your country.
Thanks to external donors, CERN is launching a capacity-building programme for advanced studies in Physics, Engineering and Computer Science for nationals of CERN Non-Member States (NMS).
The objective of the scheme is to provide opportunities through the award of studentships to encourage young and high-caliber PhD students in particle physics, as well as in applied physics, information technology/computing and engineering from the NMS to allow them to obtain world-class exposure, supervision and training primarily within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments, without excluding other scientific and technological activities at CERN.
The studentships offer the chance to students to work towards a PhD thesis while spending up to two years at CERN, at the forefront of science, over the full period of their PhD studies. This is an invitation to PhD students to further their knowledge in a truly unique organisation, to get involved in world-famous experiments and accelerator projects of unprecedented scale and scope, and to bring back to their home countries and regions new skills and a varied expertise.
You will have the opportunity to work in a diversity of fields at the cutting edge of science and technology: particle physics, applied physics, engineering, information technology/computer science, instrumentation, materials science are but a few of the examples of the many domains in which successful applicants will learn and contribute their knowledge.
**Qualifications**:
In order to qualify for a place on the programme you will need to meet the following requirements:
- Students must be enrolled in a university and have completed at least one year of their PhD studies, thus ensuring that the necessary basis through coursework is acquired together with an overall proof of commitment and capacity. In the case the thesis work would be related to an experiment, the university needs to be affiliated with the corresponding experiment collaboration.
- The work envisaged at CERN is all or part of the thesis work required to obtain the PhD degree. While the daily co-supervisor during the stay at CERN could be a CERN Staff Member, the full PhD supervision and the award of the degree remains the responsibility of the home university. Academic arrangements will be agreed between the university thesis supervisor and the CERN supervisor, thus setting up a partnership between the home university and CERN covering the full duration of the PhD studies of the student.
- Good knowledge of English and/or French.
**Important note**:Nationals of a CERN Member or Associate Member State are eligible for the CERN Doctoral Student Programme and **will not be **considered for this capacity-building initiative.
Additional Information
During the studies, CERN will provide students with:
- A contract of association for the entire period of PhD studies;
- The total period (up to 24 months presence at CERN) would be spread over a maximum duration of their PhD studies to allow students to spend a year working at their home university (granted as unpaid special leave);
- An allowance of 3818 Swiss Francs per month (net of tax) during their stay at CERN;
- A travel allowance;
- Depending on the personal circumstances, a supplement if the student is married, in a registered partnership, and/or has children and these dependents will accompany the student in their stay at CERN;
- Coverage by CERN’s comprehensive Health Insurance scheme (the contribution will be automatically deducted from the allowance), during the stay at CERN;
- 2,5 days of paid leave per month, during the stay at CERN.
CERN **will not **contribute to any cost related to the home university, pay any allowance during the periods the students are not at CERN, nor will CERN reimburse any tuition fees.
**Required **Documentation**:
- A CV.
- A letter of motivation, also mentioning the impact of obtaining this grant on their studies, career, and capacity building in the academic community in the student’s country and region.
- A statement of research interest.
- Two letters of reference, of which one from the university professor who would supervise the PhD studies.
- A letter confirming the interest of a team from the home university to accept to co-supervise the thesis work.
- A copy of the most recent academic transcript and the last diploma.
- Proof of enrolment in a PhD programme at a university in an eligible country.
