What you'll do

You will carry out post-doctoral research activities in the field of applied physics and engineering within CERN’s Experimental Physics (EP) Department. You will contribute to the design, development, deployment and operation of physics experiments or experimental setups, with activities spanning detector technologies, material science, mechanical engineering, electronics and computing.

You will work on advanced experimental projects in a highly collaborative and international environment, contributing to large-scale research infrastructures and experimental programmes. You are applying to a fellowship programme rather than to a specific job; the information provided in your application will be used to identify suitable projects, which will be discussed and refined together with you if your profile is retained.

Your responsibilities

• 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.

Your profile

• You have a strong background in applied physics, engineering or a closely related field;
• You have research experience in applied physics and engineering, ideally linked to the design, development or operation of experimental systems;
• You are interested in pursuing a career in research or academia and in taking an active role within a research project;
• You are motivated to contribute to large-scale experimental programmes in an international research environment.

Your skills

• You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills applied to experimental systems and technologies;
• You are able to work collaboratively within large, international and multidisciplinary teams;
• You communicate effectively in a scientific and technical environment;
• You are able to work independently while contributing to shared project objectives;
• Your PhD is in the fields of Applied Physics and Engineering.
