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, let’s meet and make CERN a place like nowhere else on Earth.

"There are always new people to meet and new connections to form": meet Rebecca, doctoral student at CERN.

Hi Rebecca, tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to CERN? 

Hi all! I am Rebecca, I am from the UK, from Imperial College London and I have been a doctoral student at CERN since March 2021. I have always intended to come to CERN as a physics researcher, and even from the age of 12 chose my language and science modules in the hope that I would come to work here someday! 

Meet Fleur, CERN technical student from The Netherlands

Hello Fleur, tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to CERN? 

Hello! My name is Fleur and I was born in the Netherlands, but grew up on a small Caribbean island called Curaçao. When I finished high school I moved back to the Netherlands to study Applied Physics at the Delft University of Technology. After finishing my bachelor’s degree I wanted to gain more practical experience in the field of physics, and I have always been fascinated by CERN and their research.

Meet Petter, Firefighter at CERN

Hej Petter! Tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to CERN.

I am a firefighter from Sweden. I am married and have two 6-year old twin boys. During the years I worked there I had the chance to work in two different fire and rescue services, and I was fortunate to be in a time and place where I got the opportunity to engage in some different projects on regional and national levels. This opened my eyes to working in a bigger context, but it is not the whole truth. I am also quite curious and adventurous as a person.
