James PurvisHead of Recruitment, Programmes & Monitoring Group
HR Department
Serbia-CERN Event23-24th May 2012
Programmes• Fellows: young physicists and engineers (from junior engineers
to post-doctoral research physicists) from member states, normally staying two years.
• Graduate Engineering Training: Programme introduced in 2009 to leverage engineering training opportunities at CERN.
• Scientific Associates: senior scientists spending at CERN up to one year.
• Corresponding Associates: senior scientists from all but the largest four member states, spending at CERN up to six months.
• Project Associates: physicists, engineers and technicians sent to CERN by their home institution for periods up to three years (five years for LHC completion).
• Students: several sub-programmes, catering for different seniority levels (from undergraduates to Ph.D. candidates) and offering different durations (from 2-3 months for Summer Students, up to 3 years for Doctoral Students).
• Special Programmes: externally-funded initiatives enabling additional researchers to participate in CERN programmes.
