  • Design and analysis of superconducting coils;
  • Engineering and manufacturing drawings;
  • Reporting on design, studies and analyses at internal and external meetings and other events;
  • Written design reports and manufacturing specifications;
  • Project and coordination meetings. The work may require training in the fields of applied superconductivity, magnet design, engineering and manufacturing methods.

Your profile

Skills

  • Good understanding of electro-magnetics, mechanics and thermal engineering.
  • Knowledge of applied superconductivity and cryogenics.
  • Excellent team-working attitude.
  • Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage.

Eligibility criteria:

  • You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
  • You have a professional background in Applied physics/Electrical engineering (or a related field) and have either:
    • a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
    • or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
  • You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.

About us

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. Find out more on http://home.cern.

We are on a Quest. A Journey into discovery like no other. Bring your expertise to our unique work and develop your knowledge and skills at pace. Join world-class subject matter experts on unique projects, in a Quest for greater knowledge and deeper understanding.
