Doctoral Studentship, CERN, Switzerland
Doctoral Scholarship in The European Organization for Nuclear Research, Switzerland
Job Description: The Doctoral Student Programme is aimed at postgraduate students preparing a doctoral thesis in applied physics, engineering or computing to spend between 12 to 36 months at CERN. Students specializing in theoretical or experimental particle physics are not eligible under the Programme.
Candidates may already have a thesis subject defined with their home university OR they may be looking for a thesis subject. In the latter case, CERN proposes thesis descriptions which may then be discussed between the student, his/her home university and CERN.
Required Documents
Once your application has been checked by our services, you will receive an e-mail which you must forward to two referees. This e-mail contains a link to the CERN html “Report on candidate” form. Students must upload their university academic records (marks, ranking) in order for their application to be considered and it is highly recommended to upload the CV.
Disciplines
Applied physics, IT, mathematics, electrical, electronic, mechanical or civil engineering, instrumentation for accelerators and particle physics experiments, materials science, radiation protection, safety and environmental protection, science communication, surveying, ultra-high vacuum.
Students specialising in theoretical or experimental particle physics are not eligible to apply for this programme.
Eligibility Conditions
* You are a national of a CERN Member State. Students from Non-Member States are able to apply only if they have been residing in a Member State for the last 5 years (at the time of the application).
* You have started or are about to start a doctoral programme at a CERN Member State university.
* Your work envisaged at CERN is all or part of the thesis work required to obtain your PhD. Daily supervision of the student during the period at CERN will be the responsibility of a CERN staff member. The award of the degree remains the responsibility of the applicant’s university. Hence in each case the academic arrangements will be discussed between the university thesis supervisor and the CERN supervisor.
* You have a good knowledge of English OR French.
* Doctoral Studentships are for 1 year initially, and are normally renewable for a further 12 months. The total period (up to 36 months) may extend over a maximum duration of four consecutive years.
What We Offer
* A monthly living allowance to cover the expenses of a single person in the Geneva area.
* A health insurance for illnesses and accidents of professional or non-professional nature.
* Joining expenses (on a lump sum basis).
