At CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), physicists and engineers are exploring the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the fundamental ingredients of matter – elementary particles that collide together at nearly the speed of light.
This process gives physicists clues about how particles interact and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. One of CERN’s main missions is education. Their professionals enjoy sharing their knowledge and expertise with students who are committed and passionate about their chosen fields.
Are you a student in a technical or scientific field looking for an internship to apply your knowledge and gain practical experience? Join them for up to 6 months in CERN’s collaborative, knowledge-sharing and international environment.
While jobs at CERN are open to all qualified candidates, as part of CERN’s commitment to promoting inclusivity and accessibility in the workplace, this special opportunity is reserved for students with disabilities.
