"Candidates with a PhD are not eligible", why?
Hey there,
As the title suggests, I would like to know why candidates holding a PhD cannot apply to engineering positions at CERN.
I have a double master's degree in HSE/Risk Management and Nuclear Physics, and I am thinking about doing a PhD just for the unique research experience and personal development it offers. Nothing more.
I don't plan to work in research after that but simply work as an engineer, most likely in HSE or any related safety role in a nuclear environment, depending on the available opportunities.
Why wouldn't it be possible?
Last year, I completed a 5 months Short-Term Internship at the ATLAS Safety Office and really enjoyed my time there. I even got a recommendation letter from my tutors. Therefore, I would genuinely be interested in returning and working at CERN in a related position.
Any explanation, insight or advice from staff or collaborators would be really appreciated.
Thanks for reading me :)
