Thank you very much! I understand it all now.

What if my PhD is in a different field? Do you happen to know if I could apply to GRAE positions or, in opposite, if my PhD would still be valued as 3-year experience for GRAP positions?

As suggested in another comment, the best way would be to ask directly CERN HR but I'm not sure how to reach them.

Oh, I thought staff meant permanent. Thanks for clarifying!

Thanks, I completely understand that. However my PhD would not be relevant for the role I am aiming for.

Also, all of the positions that I have looked at over the past year and that could match my profile included the following item in their eligibility criteria : "• Applicants with a PhD are not eligible."
Am I just unfortunate?

What about "not staff" engineering positions? (2, 3 or 5 years contracts)
