Call for Applications: CERN Short Term Internship 2020 in Switzerland
Internships 22.04.2020
Deadline: ongoing
Describtion
CERN is offering Short Term Paid Internship!
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 provide insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN’s mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization.
One of CERN’s key missions is education. Their professionals very much enjoy sharing their knowledge and expertise with students who are committed and passionate about their chosen field.
If you’re an undergraduate in the technical or administrative fields and you’re looking to spend a few months training “on-the-job”, imagine doing your internship at CERN in Geneva. An impressive addition to your CV!
CERN offers a limited number of places throughout 2020 in their practical training program, with a duration of 1 to a maximum of 6 months geared towards your particular field of study
Benefits
You will receive a monthly allowance of 1,516 Swiss Francs.
(However, that the cost of living in Geneva is high and this allowance is just a compliment. You should have adequate financial resources to support yourself in the local area).
