At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.

Introduction

Are you passionate about pioneering advancements in particle accelerator technologies? Join CERN and embrace this unique opportunity to lead international collaborations, influence strategic directions, and make a tangible impact on society through groundbreaking accelerator projects. Take part!

As an applied physicist or engineer with sustained expertise in particle accelerator technologies and international collaborations, you will take responsibility for the definition, setting-up and coordination of collaborative projects for research and innovation in the field of particle accelerators and their applications. These include different initiatives within the Research and Innovation Framework Programmes of the European Commission, or those supported by national or international funding with CERN participation.

Functions

You will:

• Identify strategic directions for the development of accelerator technologies, in close collaboration with CERN Management and international partners, following the guidelines defined by the European Strategy for Particle Physics and relevant bodies for accelerator research (e.g.TIARA);
• Prepare proposals and agreements for collaborative projects based on established strategic directions, involving the CERN Accelerator and Technology Sector (ATS) and the broader Particle Accelerator R&D community, negotiating internally and with multiple international stakeholders such as research institutes and industry, actively using formal and informal networks;
• Establish and coordinate international collaborations, secure funding, and lead projects on accelerator technologies, including long-term sustainability of particle accelerator-based research and the new societal applications of accelerators;
• Advise CERN’s Accelerator and Technology Sector (ATS) on opportunities for EU-funded projects for accelerator technologies, liaising with the CERN EU Office, and supporting the preparation of proposals.

You will also:

• Identify and develop applications of CERN accelerator technology for societal benefit, with a focus on medical fields;
• Facilitate international collaborations by liaising between ATS and CERN International Relations;
• Represent CERN at conferences, workshops, and research institutions.
