The Next Generation Triggers project, or NextGen, started in January 2024 as a collaboration between CERN (the Experimental Physics, Theoretical Physics and Information Technology Departments) and the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The key objective of the five-year NextGen project is to get more physics information out of the HL-LHC data. The hope is to uncover as-yet-unseen phenomena by more efficiently selecting interesting physics events while rejecting background noise. Scientists will make use of advanced algorithmic and computational approaches, from AI/ML to FPGAs, to improve the theoretical modelling and optimise their tools in the search for ultra-rare events.

Your responsibilities

• Develop and implement NGT strategic communication plan, ensuring alignment with CERN IT, CERN openlab, ATLAS, CMS and central communications rules.
• Plan, create and coordinate social media content and communication campaigns for dissemination across CERN, CERN Computing, ATLAS, CMS and other relevant channels, working with the corresponding communication teams.
• Develop, manage and evolve NGT's website, ensuring high-quality content, strong visual identity, and effective user experience.
• Plan, create, and analyse social media campaigns from editorial planning to performance reporting, using appropriate multimedia and analytics tools.
• Conceptualise and produce high-quality publications and visual materials (annual reports, brochures, leaflets, promotional items) using professional design tools such as InDesign and Illustrator.
• Act as the communication interface between CERN NGT management, NGT stakeholders and CERN central communication teams.
• Support and manage the communication of the CERN STEAM Academy, including its website and digital content, promotion, lecture programme, student communications and related activities.
• Support the communication surrounding NGT workshops and other events, including participant communications, promotional content and related tasks.
