criteria must be met in order for applicants to be eligible for this fellowship
program:
- You
are a national of a CERN Member State. However, a limited number of
positions are also available to young scientists from the Non-Member
States with a senior profile. - You
have graduated or are about to graduate with a university degree (BSc
level or above) or a technical engineer qualification. NB: Applicants who
are currently preparing a diploma are eligible to apply. However, they are
expected to have obtained their qualification by the time they take up
their appointment at CERN. - Either,
you have an MSc level diploma or above with no more than 10
years relevant experience; - Or
you have only a BSc or a technical engineer diploma with no more
than 4 years relevant experience. - If
applying in experimental or theoretical physics fields, you have
a Ph.D. or are about to finish your thesis. - Non-Member
State candidates seeking a postdoc in Theoretical Physics should apply for
the Non-Member State Postdoc Fellowship Programme (Theoretical
Physics). - There
are two levels of Fellowship within the program: - The
Senior Fellowship Programme addressed to people with a Ph.D. or at least
four years of experience after the degree which gives access to doctoral
programs. In both cases, a maximum of ten years of experience after the
degree which gives access to doctoral programs applies. - The
Junior Fellowship Programme, for holders of at least a Technical Engineer
degree (or equivalent) and at most an M.Sc. degree (or equivalent) with
not more than 4 years of experience. Please note that the Junior
Fellowship program is only open to nationals of CERN Member States. - CERN
Staff members are not eligible to apply for a Fellowship. Individuals who
have held a VIA contract are not eligible to apply for a Fellowship. - Please
note that a person may only benefit from Fellow status at CERN for a
maximum of 36 months. There is no possibility of exceptions. The minimum
duration of a Fellow contract is 6 months.
