Your responsibilities
Are you a Mechanical Engineer with a passion for challenging and exciting projects in the field of beam instrumentation for particle accelerators?
Then seize the opportunity! Join the CERN Beam instrumentation group (BI) and be part of the team working on the study and development on the next generation of beam profile monitors (Beam Gas Ionisation) for the Large Hadron Collider. The BGI technique is the state of the art for non invasive profile monitoring: you can enter more into the details of this exciting and challenging project here.
You will be part of a multicultural diverse team working at the forefront of the scientific research, working in a very stimulating environment that will help you develop your skills in precision electro-mechanics design, simulation tools and research.

At CERN, the European Organization 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. Find out more on http://home.cern.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
