You will spend up to 36 months working on your doctoral thesis in a truly unique environment where science, technology and innovation meet. You’ll be part of an international community of experts, gaining experience at the forefront of research and engineering.

Your responsibilities

• Carry out your doctoral research in collaboration with CERN and your home university.
• Contribute to ongoing projects in domains such as applied physics, computing, engineering or related technical fields.
• Present and document your work as part of your academic and research objectives.
• Learn from and work alongside world-class scientists, engineers and technicians within an international and multidisciplinary team.

Be sure to meet the eligibility criteria

• You have a good knowledge of English or French.
• Your university must support your participation in the programme. This means that your university should agree that the research you conduct at CERN will contribute to your PhD thesis.
