About CERN Senior Applied Fellowship Program 2021

Applications are open for the CERN Senior Applied Fellowship Program 2021. This Program is aimed at graduates from universities or higher technical institutes in a wide range of applied sciences, computing and engineering with between 4 and 10 years’ experience. Senior Fellowships are intended for MSc or PhD graduates looking to work in a research group.

You will need the following documents (in PDF format) to complete your application:

• A CV.
• Your most recent relevant qualification.
• Three recent letters of recommendation (not older than a year at the time of the deadline for applications), giving an overview of your academic and/or professional achievements.
• You can upload these letters at the time of application if you have them to hand. You will also be provided with a link as soon as you have submitted your application to forward to your referees to upload their letters confidentially. Please note this must be done before the closing date.

Who can participate?

You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State. A limited number of positions are also available to candidates from Non-Member States.

You have a PhD, or at least 4 years’ relevant experience since the completion of your MSc (or the equivalent diploma which gives access to doctoral programs), and in both cases a maximum limit of 10 years’ experience after completion of your MSc.

CERN Staff members are not eligible to apply for a Fellowship.
