Recruitment opens TODAY for the 2022 Monaco-°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Postdoctoral Fellowship campaign. The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization is looking for five postdoctoral candidates in the fields of fusion science or engineering for two-year positions based in Saint-Paul-lez-Durance, France (°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Headquarters).

If your PhD was awarded after 1 January 2019—or you are about to obtain one—and you are interested in participating in one of the greatest scientific and technical challenges of the 21st century, this may be an opportunity for you.

The positions are funded by the Principality of Monaco, which signed a Partnership Arrangement with the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization in 2008 and renewed its sponsorship in 2018 for ten years. Candidates must have an excellent track record of creativity and accomplishment in their chosen fields.

The campaign closes on 1 March 2022. For more information see the Monaco-°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Fellowships page. To apply, see the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Jobs page.

The CERN Courier just released its 2022 In Focus report on vacuum science, technology and innovation. In it, there is a four-page report on vacuum science at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ featuring Vacuum Section Leader Robert Pearce.

"Design, construction, commissioning, operation and upgrade: the life-cycle of large-scale scientific vacuum systems informs the exclusive coverage in this CERN Courier In Focus report," writes the editor. "Think technology innovation and implementation on an ambitious canvas like °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ's sprawling vacuum ecosystem, a core building block in the international research effort to transform nuclear fusion into an at-scale energy proposition (pp. 20-22)."

[...]"When it becomes operational later this decade, the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ fusion research project will be dependent on one of the most complex vacuum systems ever built. Joe McEntee checks out progress with °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ vacuum section leader Robert Pearce, while highlighting the downstream commercial opportunities already spinning out from the core construction programme."

Applications are open through 31 January 2022 for the 2022-2024 program; students from all over the world are encouraged to apply.

The Erasmus Mundus European Master of Science in Nuclear Fusion and Engineering Physics (FUSION-EP) aims to provide a high-level multinational research-oriented education in fusion-related engineering or physics in close relation to the research activities of the partners (7 universities and 24 partners (including the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization) in 12 countries.

This master degree is a unique opportunity for the selected students to study in two different European countries and to discover and work at major fusion research facilities during the two years' programme.

The very international curriculum, the high quality and completeness of the curriculum and the high selectivity of FUSION-EP allowed it to be selected as an EMJMD by the Executive Agency for Culture, Education and Audiovisual. The EACEA provides a number of full scholarships for the best-ranked applicants.

Apply now for a start in September 2022.
