Experimental Physicist (EP-DI-2026-29-LD)

ppbCompany Description /b /p pAt CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. /p h3Position Overview /h3 pYou will be part of the Experimental Physics (EP) Department, which carries out basic research.
