Welcome to the CERN Hub

CERN was established after the Second World War by a handful of Europe’s leading scientists and diplomats with a mission to bring excellence in scientific research back to Europe and foster peaceful collaboration among nations. With many mysteries of the fundamental nature of the Universe still to be unravelled, CERN is preparing to continue this inspiring journey of exploration.

We like building things and breaking things. We like talking about the universe and particles, but we also like a bunch of other things.

From mechanics, data science, software engineering, international relations, firefighting to our plans for a weekend in the mountains and lakes.

We like people like us, and we love people that are not like us.

Experienced or not, whatever your field of expertise, let’s meet and make CERN a place like nowhere else on Earth. Take part!

We recruit from all STEM disciplines.

We sponsor the Particle Physics sector in the 2024/25 Gradcracker Toolkit
