Promoting Young Scientists and Ensuring a Skilled Workforce
There are many advantages to working at the world's largest particle accelerator, which is particularly beneficial for young researchers. They not only acquire first-class technological and scientific expertise in international teams, but also have the opportunity of making a significant contribution to the development of the most advanced technologies. Graduates of the ErUM Research Priority Programs at the LHC are therefore extremely highly qualified specialists who are also highly sought-after employees in many industries after their studies.
Particle physicists need to fully understand complex problems and translate them into sub-problems that can be solved in order to answer the fundamental questions of our universe. Having the necessary analytical skills for this also qualifies scientists for challenging questions from industry and other areas in which analytical thinking is required.
The particle physicists involved with the ErUM Research Priority Programs have a wealth of technical expertise. They are capable of developing and applying innovative technologies. Knowledge in the fields of detector construction, electronics, computing, data science, statistics, software development and artificial intelligence is required to work on the LHC experiments.
Doctoral candidates and scientific staff take on leadership roles early on during their research work at the LHC. Not only do they have to head their own research groups, they also have to collaborate closely with other scientists from around the world. This makes graduates of the ErUM FSPs also suitable as competent managers for industry.
The four LHC experiments ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb are large international collaborations in which thousands of scientists from all over the world are involved. They are working together to unravel the universe, transcending national borders. Budding scientists participating in this research work benefit from the exchange with other researchers and are able to draw on a large international network after just a short time. They also possess a high degree of intercultural competence and pronounced language skills.
Major research projects such as the LHC and its particle detectors are distinguished, among other things, because they can only be achieved through the collaboration of many international experts. The success of the experiments therefore greatly depends on the scientists involved collaborating constructively and achieving common goals. Excellent communication and the ability to work in a team are essential.
