Job Description
This fellowship is designed to offer a small number of postdoctoral research positions in the field of applied physics and engineering. The successful candidates will be working in the Accelerators and Technologies Sector (ATS) departments of CERN on the design development deployment and operation of particle accelerators. In particular we are looking for expertise in the areas of:
- accelerator physics
- optics and beam dynamics
- machine protection
- radiationmatter interactions
- material science
- mechanical engineering
- electronics
- computing.
You are applying to a programme and not to a specific job at this stage. The information that you will provide in your application is important to identify specific projects to which you may contribute. If your profile is retained the project(s) for which you have been chosen will be discussed and tuned with you.
