Last November, while I was at the winter council meeting in Heidelberg, I saw a job posting at CERN that caught my eye and I just had to send in application. It was an opening for a software engineer in the LHC beam control and data acquisition group. The closing date was early in January but I just got the thanks but no thanks email this afternoon.
Unfortunately, and after very careful consideration of your application, we regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you a position at the present time.
Oh well… I’m curious to find out which boxes my application didn’t tick ’cause CERN in Geneva would rock as a post-EBI career.
