ITER is a fusion energy project undertaken in cooperation between the European Union (represented by EURATOM), Japan, the People's Republic of China, India, Korea, the Russian Federation and the USA. The aim of ITER is to show that fusion could be used to generate electrical power, and to gain the necessary data to design and operate the first electricity-producing plant.
The ITER International Organization publishes vacant positions on the ITER Organization website. You are therefore advised to check the website regularly. The place of work is Cadarache (France).
Only nationals from the ITER Parties can apply to the positions published. Persons interested in applying for one of the positions should do so through the contact persons in the ITER Parties. Job applications send directly to ITER will not be taken into consideration.
The primary selection process of candidates for the positions will be carried out by the Parties. After nomination of qualified candidates for these positions, the Parties will present the lists of such candidates to ITER. ITER will then carry out interviews of the candidates in order to make the final selection. For the list of currently available positions, please click here.
The European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy is a European organization established in April 2007 for a period of 35 years, and located in Barcelona, Spain. The objectives of the organization, known as "Fusion for Energy" are threefold:

- Implement the Broader Approach agreement between Euratom and Japan;
- Prepare for the construction of demonstration fusion reactors (DEMO).
"Fusion for Energy" will need highly qualified staff to work at the cutting edge of fusion technology at its offices in Barcelona. Such staff should normally be nationals of the Members of the Joint Undertaking.
Staff will be recruited directly by "Fusion for Energy." Job opportunities include temporary agents, European Union officials, contract agents, and ITER International Organization Positions.

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before the beams are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions.
Founded in 1954, the CERN laboratory sits astride the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. It was one of Europe's first joint ventures and now has 22 member states.
You can find more information about how CERN is governed and organised here.
Current vacancies at CERN are posted here.

Report of 4th European Scientific Diasporas in North America Annual Meeting
The overarching theme for European Scientific Diasporas 2018 Meeting was ‘Innovation to Society’. This one-day event celebrated and promoted Europe as a hub for scientific research and innovation impacting society. It held a series of panels discussing the various roles and achievements of EuropeanMeet the researchers
"I believe the MSCA Fellowship has provided me with one of the greatest experiences in academia a scientist could ever have and wish for. It has allowed me to position myself better in the labor market and to achieve the level of scientific maturity I needed to understand where to steer my career next. I’ve become more interested in the past years in the topic of closing the knowledge-implementation gap in conservation science and that’s what I want to do next. I’m currently looking and applying for opportunities that will allow me to do just that and hopefully the fact that I’ve been recently invited to edit a book on the topic will help differentiate my expertise and increase my chances to get a position."
"While several activities organized by the European Commission have facilitated exchange between Marie Curie fellows in the area, EURAXESS North America, through their website and presentations at US institutions, provides valuable information for funding opportunities and career prospects for both Europeans and Americans in the US, Canada and Europe. If both Europeans and Americans use these opportunities, this will increase valuable Trans-Atlantic scientific exchange."
"I think it is extremely important for researchers to have a mentor. Mentors can help when you’re stuck with a problem, aren’t sure where to go, or even just need a confidence boost. I’ve been privy to situations where people did not have good mentors and it’s really frustrating to not have any of that support. I have been lucky that during my Bachelors and Masters programs I had fantastic mentors – people who still check in with me to this day and who I can go to for advice on all sorts of matters. Having that type of professional and personal support has been paramount for my career and personal development."
"Research is international, and ideas travel through people. Mobility between countries can be a huge boost to your career. It can be a great personal experience, too: my partner was able to follow me, so got a first opportunity to live abroad. Some fellowships, including the Marie Skłodowska Curie Individual Fellowship, provide generous funding for an accompanying family."
"Freeing up time to concentrate was the most important gift of the ERC, but being able to assemble both the project and a research team completely as I saw fit has also been intensely rewarding and liberating. This was the first time in my research that my two interests of composition and ethnomusicology truly could come together in an organic way."
European Scientific Diasporas
EURAXESS North America is a network of researchers of all nationalities who are currently residing in the USA or Canada. There are also a number of national networks of researchers and scholars (European Scientific Diasporas) in North America providing information of specific relevance to each country.
