Open roles at particle accelerators, light sources and big-science labs worldwide, matched to a profile of 10+ years in project management (Sirius/CNPEM), a PhD in energy systems planning, and work in energy-transition consulting. Scores weigh role fit and how feasible it is to move there from Brazil.
What matters most before applying.
Brazil has been a CERN Associate Member State since 13 Mar 2024. Staff roles (e.g. Planning Engineer) are open and come with a relocation package. Graduate programmes, however, exclude PhD holders, and Senior Fellow roles cap experience at 3 years after the PhD.
CERN, ESRF, ILL and European XFEL recruit internationally, work in English and handle residence through host-state arrangements.
The EU Blue Card (Germany) and Danish skilled-worker schemes are realistic routes; German is often expected at DESY and GSI.
Many Brookhaven, Fermilab and Jefferson Lab postings state "no visa sponsorship"; LANL and LLNL require US citizenship and security clearance.
