At the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter—fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light.
Responsibilities:
Manage the annual planning and delivery of CERN teacher programs onsite while developing and expanding the program portfolio, including online seminars.
Curate, maintain, and expand CERN's teaching-resource database, supporting initiatives that link CERN-related educational content with school curricula.
Build and manage strategic relationships with CERN scientists, staff, and external partners.
Supervise a project graduate and an administrative student, and co-supervise doctoral students in physics education research.
Lead the empirical evaluation of program outcomes.
Build and sustain an active international network of alumni teachers acting as ambassadors for CERN and particle physics within their educational communities.
Requirements:
Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of STEM education or a related field.
Experience in designing, delivering, or managing professional development programs for teachers, ideally in physics or STEM.
Experience in physics education and science communication.
Experience creating or curating educational resources that support curriculum needs and classroom implementation.
Experience working collaboratively with scientists, educators, and external partners, supported by strong interpersonal and intercultural skills and a commitment to inclusive collaboration.
Experience in evaluating educational programs and applying evidence-informed approaches to improve learning experiences would be an advantage.
