COFUND Fellowships at CERN International career development opportunities with CERN and Marie Curie Actions
For many years, CERN has operated an international Fellowship programme, offering scientists and engineers challenging opportunities in particle physics research, and in related fields of physics and technology. The programme provides an excellent possibility for work, research and constant training to those who are interested in science and technology at the highest level.
What is COFUND? COFUND is a Marie Curie Action under the European Commission’s 7th Framework Programme and complements the CERN Fellowship programme by offering 3-year contracts instead of the standard 2-year duration, as well as the possibility to spend part or all of one contractual year of the Fellowship at a university, research institute or an industrial company of their choice outside CERN.
Who are the COFUND Fellows? COFUND Fellows are the highest-ranked applicants. The possibility of spending all or part of one year outside CERN fosters international cooperation and enables scientists and engineers to gain an insight into leading fields of knowledge of technology and science to become the innovators of tomorrow. What are the main fields of this programme? Areas in which COFUND Fellows can be recruited include:
• Experimental particle physics • Theoretical particle physics, astroparticle physics and cosmology • Accelerator physics • Detector technologies • Information technology • Data acquisition and controls technologies • Magnet technology • Radio frequency technology • Electrical engineering • Electronics • Cryogenics • Dissemination of scientific results and technology transfer
Who can apply for COFUND Fellowship? COFUND is open to all nationalities. Applicants must have a PhD or at least four years of experience after the degree which gives access to doctoral programmes and a maximum of ten years of experience after the degree which gives access to doctoral programmes.
