      Thank you very much for your review. CERN's site has been developing for over 60 years so renovating and improving the infrastructure on a site of this scale is one of our main concerns in order to provide our employees the comfort and security needed to perform their mission. CERN offers multiple type of contract both permanent and temporary, all remunerated in line with the high area standards.
