You will have the opportunity to work in a diversity of fields at the cutting edge of technology: electronics, electricity, mechanics, IT, vacuum, cooling and ventilation, safety, radioprotection, survey engineering, are but a few of the examples of the many domains in which successful applicants will learn and contribute their knowledge.

Your application will be considered by a panel of CERN experts for a place within the programme.

The next meeting of these experts will take place in October 2019.

We are currently hiring technicians for a range of projects:
