The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is a groundbreaking international fusion research project designed to demonstrate the feasibility of nuclear fusion as a sustainable and clean energy source. Situated in France, ITER aims to replicate the energy production process of the sun by achieving sustained, high-energy plasma conditions to support fusion reactions. By advancing the science and technology of fusion energy, ITER seeks to pave the way for future commercial fusion power plants and address global energy challenges.
Fusion, the nuclear reaction that powers the sun and the stars, is a promising long-term option for a sustainable, non-carbon emitting global energy supply.
The ITER Organization (IO), based in the southern France, welcomes best talents who can together prepare the way to this new energy in a truly multi-cultural work environment.
We offer challenging assignments in a wide range of areas and encourage applications from candidates will all levels of experience.
Applications from under-represented ITER Members’ nations and women candidates are strongly encouraged, as IO strongly believes that a diversified, equitable, and inclusive workplace is crucial in solving one of the most complex scientific and engineering projects in the world today.
As the IO attracts and retains people coming from a vast array of different backgrounds and cultures, discrimination and exclusion cannot be tolerated.
The IO believes it is our diverse perspectives and background that gives unique strength and value to the ITER mission, regardless of race, member nation, gender, religion, status, sexual orientation, or disability – all are welcome and respected at ITER.
ITER CARE Values (Collaboration / Accountability / Respect / Excellence):
We perform our work with care, we care for the well-being of colleagues, our families and ourselves, and we care about the health of the planet for generations to come.
CARE drives our work and our behaviors at ITER.
