Are you interested in becoming a library cataloguer and contributing to the dissemination of cutting-edge scientific research?
The Scientific Information Service plays a central role in ensuring that CERN’s scientific publications are accurately described, indexed, and made discoverable through major digital repositories. Each year, the team curates around 13’000 records, helping to maximise the visibility, accessibility, and long-term preservation of CERN’s research outputs.
The selected candidate will work within the Archives & Library Section, gaining hands-on experience in the curation and cataloguing of scientific documents. This role offers an excellent opportunity to develop practical skills in metadata creation, quality control, and information organisation in a large international research environment. You will contribute directly to the quality and reliability of bibliographic data used by researchers worldwide.
You will join a diverse, dynamic, and supportive team of dedicated librarians, where cataloguing responsibilities are shared and collaboration is strongly encouraged. The team works closely together, allowing for continuous learning, peer support, and knowledge exchange in day-to-day activities.
Comprehensive training and guidance will be provided, making this position particularly suitable for candidates at an early stage of their career who are motivated to learn and grow professionally. This is a unique opportunity to develop core library and information science skills while contributing to meaningful, long-term projects in an international and collaborative setting.
