SCK•CEN PhD and Postdoc in Nuclear Research

Overview

The main objective of the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre is to maintain a centre of excellence for research on nuclear science and technology and ionising radiation.

Therefore SCK•CEN will:

■In priority conduct research with regard to safety of nuclear installations, safe treatment and disposal of nuclear waste, protection of man and environment against radiation, management of fissile and other strategic materials.
■Conduct research with regard to social implications within the scope of the pursuit of sustainable development.
■Develop, gather and spread the necessary knowledge through education and communication.
■Provide all services asked for in the domain concerned, in particular by the nuclear industry, the medical sector and the gouvernment.
■Make the necessary pluridisciplinary scientific contacts concerning the energy problem.

Develop your career in nuclear research!

In a conscious desire to increase its pool of highly specialised young researchers and to tighten the links with the universities, SCK•CEN embarked in 1992 on a programme to support PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers.

Since 1992, over 100 students started a PhD in collaboration with SCK•CEN and more than 50 post-docs joined our Centre. Currently, about 50 junior scientific researchers perform their work in research fields that reflect the priority programmes and R&D topics of SCK•CEN.
