Bellevue GE, Genf, Schweiz CERN - European Organization for Nuclear Research Vollzeit

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is a world-leading particle physics research organization. We are seeking highly skilled postdoctoral researchers to join our team of scientists and engineers working on the design, development, and operation of particle accelerators.

The successful candidates will be part of the Accelerators and Technologies Sector (ATS) departments at CERN, where they will contribute to cutting-edge research in applied physics and engineering. Our experts work on a wide range of topics, including accelerator physics, optics and beam dynamics, machine protection, radiation-matter interactions, mechanical engineering, electronics, and computing.

To qualify for this position, you must have a PhD in applied physics and engineering, with a strong background in one or more of the areas mentioned above. You should also have a maximum of 3 years of research experience after your PhD, measured up to the closing date for application.

Candidates who meet the eligibility criteria will receive an employment contract for in principle 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months. They will also receive a stipend of 6,911 Swiss francs per month (net of tax), comprehensive health insurance, and membership of the CERN Pension Fund.

Applicants should submit their applications no later than 5 April 2025 at midnight (23:59 PM CET). The documents required include a statement of interests in research and development, based on your experience, and three recent letters of recommendation.
