Fellowships are intended for young University level postgraduates who want to work in a research group. Fellowships are granted for one year initially and are normally extended for a second year.
Eligibility Conditions

- You have a PhD (or are about to finish your thesis) and are looking for a postdoctoral position.
- You have a maximum of 10 years of research experience after the degree which gives access to doctoral programmes (MSc or equivalent).

- a photocopy of the last (highest) qualification
- a short (half page) description of your motivation for coming to CERN
- three letters of recommendation to give as broad as possible overview of your academic and/or professional achievements
- A short description of your research interests
The application and ALL supporting documents should reach CERN (or be submitted using the e-recruitment system) by the closing date. Candidates should upload their documents such as their curriculum vitae, publications, research interests etc. directly into our e-recruitment system (e-RT). Recommendation letters can also be uploaded directly or sent to the Recruitment Service by email, fax or postal mail (contact details are available here). Candidates will receive an automatic email when these documents are attached to their application.

- Leave: Fellows are entitled to 2.5 days paid leave per month.
- Insurance: Fellows are covered by CERN’s comprehensive health scheme for themselves and their dependents.
